``Native aggregation as a cause of origin of temporary cellular structures needed for all forms of cellular activity, signaling and transformations''

``The methodological basis for the proposed hypothesis results from studies by the scientific schools of Dmitrii Nasonov [1] and Gilbert Ling [2-6], which have gained new appreciation over the last 20-30 years owing to advances in protein physics [7] in the study of properties of globular proteins, their unfolding and folding, as well as the discovery of novel states of the protein molecule: the natively unfolded and the molten globule. The key statement for the rationale of the present paper is that the specificity of interactions of polypeptide chains with each other (at the intra- and inter-molecular levels) can be provided only by their secondary structures, primarily α-helices and β-sheets.''

Prof. Medveed is one of a group of ``musketeers?'' behind Gilbert N. Ling's idea of Aggregation-Induction Hypothesis. He works in Russia.

One important current advance is something called Protein Physics. This was made possible by the advances in computer manufacture and programming; precisely the type of development that has Ray Kurzweil so enthralled in the possibilities of progress.

Maybe Kurzweil won't get his artificial brain; but I hope Ling gets recognition before he dies. His idea rings true to me.

The idea is of a physical process in polarized water that organizes long and complicated chemicals. If you put special substances in water like ATP, acting like ferroelectric polarizing rods, through the polarized water, they organize cell physiology. Neat.

BTW, Albert Szent-Györgyi, one of the pioneers in understanding ATP function, was a Ling supporter also. Birds of a feather, come together.
