Acid Quote by Michael Behe

“This chapter reveals and elaborates upon the exquisite beauty of protein structure.”

— Reginald H. Garrett

In many biological structures proteins are simply components of larger molecular machines.

— Michael Behe

“In describing a protein it is now common to distinguish the primary, secondary and tertiary structures. The primary structure is simply the order, or…

Think about the whole world of biological complex sciences. We still don't understand the way a protein folds the way it does.

— Ahmed H. Zewail

You see, proteins, as I probably needn't tell you, are immensely complicated groupings of amino acids and certain other specialized compounds, arranged in intricate…

Owing to the difficulty of dealing with substances of high molecular weight we are still a long way from having determined the chemical characteristics…

— Karl Landsteiner

The basic parts, the start-up molecules, can be supplied in abundance and don't have to be made by some elaborate process. That immediately makes…
