Enzyme Biological Reaction Speed Up

11 November 2008

 What came first. The cell or the enzyme that makes the cell? The enzyme of course... maybe.

 Uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase is an enzyme that is essential for the biosynthesis of hemoglobin and chlorophyll. This enzyme allows hemoglobin and chlorophyll to be produced at an incredible rate. If you remove the enzyme the reaction that normally takes a few milliseconds would now take around 2,300,000,000 (2.3 billion) years.

 This is one of many examples of a symbiotic relationship. A symbiotic relationship means that one partner needs to be present for the other partner to exist. Without the uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase enzyme we would still be waiting for chlorophyll cell #2 to be created in the evolutionary 4.3 billion year time line of earth.

 I would be willing to bet that most of the people on this planet could not even spell uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase and certainly none of them could make one, even if they were given all the amino acids necessary to form the protein. Richard Wolfenden, Ph.D., Alumni Distinguished Professor Biochemistry and Biophysics and Chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill said, "We've only begun to understand how to speed up reactions with chemical catalysts, and no one has even come within shouting distance of producing, or predicting the magnitude of, their catalytic power,"

 If every one of the most intelligent people on the planet could not create even one enzyme out of nothing, why would you think that all the enzymes created themselves without an intelligent Creator?

Without this enzyme:
 - Plants could not exist.
 - Vertebrates could not exist.
 - You would not exist.
