Page 57 - The Miracle of Protein

ADNAN OKTAR (HARUN YAHYA) 55

When amino acids are
linked side -by -side like
beads on a string, they
form primary structures.

amino acids to arrange ourselves in a particular sequence to
produce a protein"? Of course, such a claim would be utterly il-
logical.

Just as unconscious atoms possess no such ability, neither
can proteins nor the amino acids that compose them possess
any such decision-making mechanism. God locates all these en-
tities in the appropriate positions, brings the building blocks of
living cells into being, and creates life—flawless and of infinite

variety—by means of these cells. God is Lord of all the worlds,
from atoms to giant galaxies.

Proteins' Secondary Structure:

Helix and Layered Structure
Let’s start with how hydrogen bonds function: When a hy-

drogen molecule attached to an electronegative atom such as
oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine forms a bond with the electroneg-
ative atom of the same or another molecule, as a result it gains
a partial positive charge, a hydrogen bond is formed.
After the amino acids necessary for a protein line up along-
side one another, other miraculous events take place. Along
