Crystallized Form, Specialized Function

Proteins are the building blocks of physical life. Without them, life has no scaffolding, no form. Strings of amino acids, folded and twisted, arranging into unique shapes as the environment shifts. Proteins are not static, they move and adapt to their environment, to life itself. Some sequences of amino acids are more fluid than others, arranging into functional forms as needed by an ever-changing environment. Others maintain intentions of staying fixed, consistent to their core arrangement. Under the right environment and conditions, each does exactly what it is supposed to do.

Why is the arrangement of a protein so important?

Function. The size, shape, and composition of a protein, just like your body, affects its function. I have a friend who used to work in a private laboratory that grew, isolated, purified, and crystallized proteins. This was so that they could shoot a laser through tiny little protein crystals. When light moves through form, it is absorbed, refracted, and reflected. This information can be recorded for characterization purposes. This literally is the perfect example of how shape and physical characteristics affect function (in this case, how the laser light moves through the protein).

There is a great symbolism available here. Just like the light moving through protein reveals its function, the way in which Consciousness flows through our human nervous system reveals our True Purpose.

We are all made for some unique form of service. A way to express unconditional love and elevate humanity and the planetat large. Here in the physical, with our natural anatomy, we are here to do work, just like proteins. This is why we can learn somuch, simplifying the experience of life down into the microcosmic world of proteins.

Proteins truly are wonderful. They provide living organisms structure. But also, the structure of each individual largely predicts the protein’s function. Just as each door lock has a particular key, so does each protein have a particular function. So since we are each a unique compilation of proteins, we must also deduce that because of this we are each a multi-faceted array of many functions, all culminating in our unique expression of life.

Characterizing form in order to understand purpose is very important to scientists. So much so that they will invest millions of dollars in private laboratories to grow proteins in bacteria, then lyse the cells and wash them, then purify a specific protein, and then do a host of other procedures to get the protein into the perfect crystallized form so that it can be characterized!
