Biochemists made a new molecular design discovery when they mapped for the first time the three-dimensional crystal structure of osteocalcin, the most abundant noncollagenous protein in bone. Their map revealed unique structures in the protein that permit it to recognize, recruit, and bind a key mineral component of bone, namely hydroxyapatite. Thus, osteocalcin joins a growing host of proteins whose 3-D maps reveal design matching the best efforts seen in humanly manufactured machines. Such elegant design is highly improbable in an evolutionary paradigm.
