We would notice that the simplest of the functional components of the cell, the protein molecules, were astonishingly, complex pieces of molecular machinery, each one consisting of about three thousand atoms arranged in highly organized 3 - D spatial conformation.
Me paneksime tähele, et raku valgumolekulid — talitluslikest komponentidest lihtsaimad — on molekulaarmasinavärgi hämmastamapanevalt komplekssed osad, kusjuures igaüks neist koosneb umbes 3000 aatomist, mis on korraldatud kõrgtasemel organiseeritud kolmemõõtmelisse konformatsiooni.
