Allurea Rashatan / Protoplasmic Code
I love to hum…. And these are the tones I’ve been humming my whole life. Just like they’re played here. 🤯🕊️🪷❣️🫶
Protoplasmic code refers to
the fundamental, complex instructions within the cell's living material (protoplasm/cytoplasm) that govern cellular behavior, structural organization, and metabolic processes. It represents the active, functional state of life rather than just the genetic code. Key elements include:
- Biological Basis: Protoplasm consists of ~75–80% water along with proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
- Active Regulation: It involves mechanisms like "Gellin" proteins controlling instant wound-induced gelation in fungi.
- Functional Role: It drives metabolic activities, such as protoplasmic streaming directed by molecular motors.
- Historical Context: Originally deemed the "physical basis of life" (19th-century concept), it is now understood as the complex, dynamic cytoplasm and its organelles.
Modern perspectives often distinguish this from genetic code (DNA/RNA) by focusing on the "high-tech" systems, such as membrane remodeling and metabolic, physical, or chemical signals, that operate within the cell to maintain life.
