How did your life begin?

It all begins with life (continuing yesterday’s post). Proteins, the primal elements of life easily wrap themselves into organic wire sculptures and move in response to environmental signals.  On the surface of each cell, receptor proteins receive environmental signals while the effector proteins transform into vibrations and transmit them to the brain where they are interpreted.  It doesn’t take much imagination to picture the difference between how these protein sculptures move when they are “head-over-heels in love” versus when they are irritated.  We’ve been there!
