Of Proteins, Redox States and Living Things

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Centre de Physique des Houches ((LHWINTER,volume 10))

Abstract

Proteins are amazing structures. For a long while, we have trusted them to be these inoffensive, carefully crafted, highly organized particles, coded for by individual genes (by all means the culprits), and contributing largely to the harmonious activity of cells and tissues. With the recent discovery that proteins can transmit such obscure diseases as Creutzfeld-Jakob neurodegeneration, capable of twisting the programming of invaded cells, the prion proteins, and by analogy, all proteins, have forever lost our trust.

“It is a gamble to bet on science for moving ahead, but it is, in my view, the only game in town.”
