176 THE MIRACLE OF PROTEIN

a clear miracle of God. These molecules act on the orders of God
and discharge this important duty in a selfless manner.
Factory warehouses are special places used to keep exces-
sive materials so stored materials can be used later as necessary.
Iron storing proteins, in an awe-inspiring display of art of cre-
ation, work just like these warehouses. The manifestation of

such marvelous features on molecules is a breathtaking phe-
nomenon.
The ferritin mole-
cule is created to store
the iron ions. This mole-
cule is a wonder also due
to its peculiar shape,
specifically it is built with
the combination of 24

sub-units in the most ex-
cellent manner.
The proteins Bacterioferrin and Dps are also created to car-
ry the iron ions. These molecules have very complex appear-
ances. As the three-dimensional pictures clearly illustrate, iron
storage proteins all have a very complex structures. In the space
right inside their centers exists a special place for iron ions

Energy distribution lines are used to transfer energy generated in power
stations to distant places. Just like these lines, energy generated in the
cell membrane is carried to the outer membrane through transmission
lines made up of proteins called TonB-ExbB-ExbD.
