The Miracle of the Cell (Privileged Species Series)

Product Information

If organic bonds were substantially stronger in the ambient temperature range, say as strong as in many inorganic compounds which may be two to three times as strong (and which can only be broken by heating to very high temperatures), protein movements [in enzymes] could not significantly weaken particular bonds, i.e., decrease the activation barrier for particular reactions. Consequently, the sorts of controlled chemical reactions carried out in living cells would be greatly constrained. Moreover, not only would proteins be unable to exert sufficient conformational strain to significantly weaken particular bonds, but molecular collisions in the ambient temperature range would only very rarely impart sufficient energy to overcome energy barriers and cause bonds to break. On the other hand, if organic bonds were substantially weaker in the ambient temperature range, disruption via molecular collisions would dominate and no controlled chemistry [via enzymes] would be possible. 9

The sodium and potassium cations are uniquely suited for rapid transport across cell membranes to establish electrical potentials. Dr. Michael Denton’s new book The Miracle of the Cell (2020), is a real treat. His approach to the design inference is different from that of other prominent ID researchers’, which makes his writings quite refreshing. I recommend reading the book along with watching some of the fine videos featuring Denton because his awe of nature and the enthusiasm with which he communicates his findings are not fully conveyed through the written word.

An even greater wonder is the stunning prior fitness in nature that enables the material actualization of the canonical carbon-based cell. This prior fitness is manifest in the unique utility of the properties of a significant number of the atoms in the first half of the periodic table to serve highly specific ends essential for the assembly of the core macromolecular constituents and the physiological functioning of the cell. I call this the unique fitness paradigm.ATP is the cell’s energy currency. A single cell uses 10 million ATP molecules per second, meaning there is roughly a turnover of your body weight in ATP every day. Since there are only 60 g of ATP in our bodies at any given time, each ATP molecule must be used and recharged twice a minute. ATP is thermodynamically unstable but kinetically stable, making it ideal for powering the cell; ATP is stable until it is associated with an enzyme where it releases its thermodynamic energy by being hydrolyzed to adenosine diphosphate (ADP). The negative charges in the phosphate groups make ATP kinetically stable (would have to form a highly charged polyion to form ADP). ATP is universal in all living things—there is no other molecule like it. The chemistry of phosphorus is responsible. If there was no phosphorus, there would be no life. When we observe the goings-on of protozoans in a drop of pond water or the antics of an amoeboid leucocyte in the human blood stream chasing a bacterium, it is hard to resist the feeling that these microscopic life forms are sentient, autonomous beings. This was the case when we had relatively primitive microscopic technology more than one hundred years ago, and it is all the more so today. Ji, Yong-jin (26 February 2013).

Proteins are made from twenty different amino acids, but DNA consists of just four nucleotides. We now know that DNA codes for proteins—three adjacent nucleotides (a codon) code for one amino acid—and that the sequence of nucleotides in DNA therefore codes for the amino acid sequences in proteins. Some amino acids are hydrophilic (water loving), and some are hydrophobic (water fearing). The sequence of amino acids in a protein determines how the protein will fold in an aqueous environment through the various hydrophilic, hydrophobic and intramolecular (see below) interactions and hence what 3D shape the protein will ultimately assume. The 3D shape of a protein determines its function. The specificities of a protein’s amino acid sequence and consequent 3D architecture are required for specific enzymatic activity and DNA replication. Science has no explanation for the origin of the sequence information in DNA and proteins. Miracle in Cell No. 7' third most-viewed Korean film". The Korea Herald. 15 March 2013.

Mammals have 1000 capillaries per square millimeter. Capillaries are 40 microns apart. Most cells are one to three cell widths from a capillary. The viscous drag of water when pumped through capillaries causes pressure in the capillaries. If the viscosity of water were much greater, the thin cell walls of capillaries would rupture. The cell walls of the capillaries need to be thin to facilitate the diffusion of oxygen and nutrients. The viscosity of water facilitates the rapid diffusion of oxygen and nutrients by permitting the rapid flow of blood through capillaries. If water were less viscous, the increased mobility of water molecules would make cellular structures less stable. Denton explains: Biochemistry is known to work from –20°C up to possibly 130°C. This is a narrow temperature range when compared to the range of temperatures found in our universe: near absolute zero (–273°C) up to millions of degrees inside stars. And the temperature range friendly to life overlaps with the temperatures water is in the liquid state. Denton says the correspondence of the stabilities and reactivities of organic molecules with the temperatures at which water is a liquid is miraculous.

The film was the most watched film in Turkish theaters in 2019, with more than 5.3 million admissions. It also gained a large worldwide audience due to its release on Netflix, especially in France and Latin America, where it topped the charts.

Conversely, if instead it is eventually established that there is no purely natural path across the great gulf from non-life to life, and that only the additional exertion of an intelligent agent could have assembled the first cell on Earth, that will be equally a watershed in human thought.” Well, the problem with this is the word “teleology” - “the study of evidences of design in nature” … “the character attributed to nature of being directed toward an end”. There can’t be “design”, or “being directed”, without a designer, or a director – so this is just another way of saying it must be an “intelligent agent” acting. It’s like Dr. Benton was afraid he would offend the “anything but God” crowd if he took a stand (which surely the “unique fitness” argument would have supported). Various transition metals including manganese, iron, cobalt, copper, zinc, and molybdenum can have various oxidation states which give them various essential properties. Transition metals can channel electrons down gradients efficiently for cellular work. Transition metals have unpaired electrons that can be donated to oxygen to activate it for chemistry. Denton says, Editor’s note : We are pleased to offer this excerpt from Dr. Denton’s new book, The Miracle of the Cell . And as always, I am indebted to Lawrence Henderson’s great classic The Fitness of the Environment (1913). Let's ask another question, which by itself refutes the theory of evolution straight away; does the "wisdom" displayed in the aforementioned functions belong to the cell membrane?

I also am indebted to Iain Johnston and Tyler Hampton for careful criticisms and readings of earlier drafts of the monograph, for the valuable input of science reviewers later in the process, and for the staff at the Discovery Institute for their considerable editing efforts, especially Jonathan Witt and Rachel Adams. INTRODUCTION Weak noncovalent bonds can form reversibly. For example, pulling DNA strands apart for transcription or replication mainly involves the breaking of many weak hydrogen bonds. The specificity and catalytic power of protein enzymes are largely determined by the weak bonds formed within the protein. Denton says,After the execution, Nail and Faruk arrive at Ova’s home and reunites Memo with her. Nail reveals that one of the cellmates volunteered to secretly take Memo's place in the gallows to ensure Memo escapes from jail and that Askorozlu arranged for his accomplices on the outside to delay the officer's arrival to ensure he does not realize the deception, while Nail and Faruk arranged for the leaders of other prison gangs to stage a riot to distract the other guards while Memo escapes. Nail and Faruk assist Memo and Ova in fleeing the country on a boat to seek asylum abroad.
