Newton's Cradle, a classic demonstration of energy conservation, inspires us to explore the intricacies in the biological world. Consider the oxidoreductase enzyme complexes F006/9725 and F006/9700, or C015/6554 and C015/6553. These biological machines harness the power of redox reactions to transfer energy from one molecule to another, much like the balls in Newton's Cradle. The delicate dance of electrons in these enzymes enables the conversion of chemical energy into biological work, driving the metabolic processes that sustain life. In the artwork, the Newtons Cradle with brains, we see a visual representation of the transfer of energy and information between the balls, symbolizing the complex interplay of energy and knowledge in our world.
