As recent especially carefully executed investigations show, various typical, i.e. classically analytical, protein features do only appear after death and after a denaturation has taken place. So [it is quoted] "Irradiation of transparent sea urchin eggs does not show a protein spectrum in the UV-spectrometer. This, one only obtains after cell destruction." But this would also mean that there wasn't any "protein" present at all, and thus also no reserve or building material of protein nature [which materials in the Unimol view do not belong to the living-molecule-proper, but are surely to be expected in the living organism.], which would be remarkable anyhow. Or does there exist, between living substance and protein, a third state which neither is the one nor the other, but capable to become both of them? Certainly, the proteins, no matter their origin, whether from organismic production or through "direct-extraction from protoplasm" [as is asserted], are stable chemicals, but which, as the species-specific proteins and their serological reactions demonstrate, still possess certain features of the original living substance. Species-specific serum-protein molecules are non-living transformed fragments, and products of fission. Once they were, in one way or another, constituting the organism, but now have, apart from certain stylistic features, nothing to do anymore with its living substance.
