SURVIVAL BY ACCIDENT OR DESIGN?. Together both are organized to weave back and forth twelve times² within the space of two lipids changing their conformation, during which whatever proteins, sugars etc. they carry are delivered first into the protoplasm across the membrane through a special porous arrangement. Then whatever is to be transferred from the protoplasm to the outer bloodstream is done through this spiral conformation which transfers the specific material from the protoplasm to the outer lipid wall which through another complex porous arrangement delivers the material to the bloodstream. Thus the transporter oscillator: ". . . shifts the binding pocket for glucose between opposite sides of the membrane. Kinetic studies, including several performed at Dartmouth Medical. School. . . indicate that such oscillation is extraordinarily rapid. . . When glucose is bound to the transporter, the rate is even greater, about 900 times per second. ' 3. Without a Perfect Knowledgeable Organizer, whose existence they do not recognize, this scheme of 'hows' could not be designed and precisely executed by itself. . Spectroscopic evidence has established that the entire protein is coiled into a helix, and in this helical-cylindrical arrangement the hydrophilic segments are arranged on one side of the cylinder and hydrophobic segments on the other. . The methodology of this exercise is highly intriguing and fascinating! This complex mechanism is by no means a product of chance, but had to be purpose-built. . Apart from the energy requirement of the cell, there is an additional problem of maintenance of the ratio of salts. inside and outside the cellular chambers. The essential salts present in the cell have to maintain a certain proportion. . This ratio is different by a large margin from the one found in the electrolyte solutions surrounding the cell.
