How does a mutation in the gene for a protein affect the protein?

Who intelligently designed the CCR5 protein?

  • HIV enters human cells in two steps. First, HIV must bind to its receptor, the CD4 protein, which is found of the surface of many cells of the human immune system. Next, the virus unfolds its docking protein to bind a "co-receptor". Only after successfully attaching to the co-receptor can the virus actually enter the target cell. The most important co-receptor is the CCR5 protein. Although the CCR5 protein is part of the human immune system, it is not essential. About 20% of white people have a chunk of DNA deleted from one of their two copies of the CCR5 gene. Those with one defective copy of the CCR5 gene can catch AIDS, but its onset is slowed by several years. About 1% of white people have two defective copies of the CCR5 gene. These people are resistant to catching AIDS. This mutation is not found in Africans or Asians. Who intelligently designed the CCR5 gene so that perfect copies of it would make AIDS possible, mutated copies would not, and decided which population would be affected by the mutation?

God works in mysterious ways creampuff.

The following works for sinus, cold, running nose, sore throat and strep throat. It works for all digestive problems as well. The digestive problems that it cures are - IBS, constipation, stomach cramps, GERD, Acid reflux etc. Logically it should cure asthma as well. Give up water and all other fluids for 24 to 48 hours. Logic - Bacteria responsible for cold and sinus breeds in moist, damp and dark areas. When we breathe the varours carried along provide the moisture for breeding of infections in sinus areas. When we stop drinking water and other fluids - after 24 hours the moisture carried along our breathe reduce significantly enough. Our breathe becomes excessively hot. That kills the bacteria. Baceria survives in damp and dark places. Evidence of this can be found by following - Stand 12 inches away facing a wall. Mark a circle of about 3 mm dia. Focus on that circle for about 10 second. Without blinking eyes. After 10 seconds move backwards by about 6 inches without blinking eyes. Again after 10 seconds move backwards without blinking eyes. Repeat this until u have moved about 3-4 ft away from wall. Then close your eyes and rest them. With close eyes come to the original position of 12 inches from the wall and point. Open ur eyes and you will find a sticky fluid coming out of your eyes. This is the result of bacteria dying due to excessive light entering the eyes. The excessive light enters the eye due to ur movement away from an object and then coming closure to the point. It may not happen on the first movement. Repeating 3-4 times may cause the fluid movement. If it still does not happen you may have to look into the sky for about 30 seconds without blinking. (Away from the sun) Another angle to antibodies and infections - This is likely to cure AIDS and cancer and most of the diseases resulting from poor immune systems. Cold and cough happens due to some infection. The infection from a virus / bacteria happens once only in the life time of a person. Next times it is some other varient of the virus/bacteria. That is possible only if our body has some sstem of keeping a record of past infections. The body seems to keep a blue print of past infections near body's sinus areas. This fact is supported by the theory of similar cures similar in Homeopathy. In homeopathy the person suffering from a disease is given diluted bacteria of the diseased person. That is claimed to cure the disease permanently. When a blue print of an infection is stored in the body, the antibodies against that infection are made on daily basis for the life time of the person. As with every thing, the body has a capacity or range to do things. Fever ranges from 95 to 108, BP range, pulse range and so every thing has some range or capacity, Same way there has to be a capacity of production of antibodies in human body. When the number of blue prints of infections keeps increasing, the body keeps making antibodies for old infections. When the capacity to make antibodies is fully utilised it stops making antibodies for new infections. That may manifest as AIDS or MCTD or some other problems which are characterised by abnormally high antibody production, but the body remains highly suspectible to new infections. Since the blue prints of infections are stored near sinus areas, these must be deleted to restore the immunity of the body. That is possible by changing the environment in which these bacteria breed
