68 THE MIRACLE OF PROTEIN

FOR PROTEIN MODIFICATION: 850 different proteins,
TOTAL: 4,950 different proteins. 15
When we examine these molecules' structure, we find
amino acids—smaller molecules—and the unconscious, inani-
mate atoms that comprise them. With an intellect and con-

sciousness, one would never expect from them, these combina-
tions of atoms such as carbon, oxygen and nitrogen carry out
processes far beyond the capacities of human beings.
But what causes unconscious atoms carry out conscious ac-
tions? What causes these atoms more efficient than chemistry
professors? This achievement, explained in the following pages,
is due to inanimate atoms and unconscious molecules behaving

under the commandment and power of God, Who has domin-
ion over all things from the Heavens to the Earth.

Production Begins: The First Signal

Whenever the body needs any protein, a message express-
ing that need is transmitted to the DNA molecule in the nucleus
of cells that will carry out that protein's production. One point

is particularly important here: whenever need for any protein
arises in the body, various messengers, which are proteins them-
selves, can locate the exact place where they have to go inside the
darkness of the body and can transmit the message to the exact
correct place and in the right form. The protein that establishes
that communication reaches its location without getting lost

and without causing any harm to any part of the body. Clearly
every component shows a great awareness of its responsibilities.
Detailed examples of this miraculous talent will be given in the
section about the cell signalization processes.
When the message arrives at the cell’s nucleus, it turns into
