The modem era of biochemistry and molecular biology has been shaped not least by the isolation and characterization of individual molecules. Recently, however, more and more polyfunctional macromolecular complexes are being discovered, including nonrandomly codistributed membrane-bound proteins [41], These are made up of several individual proteins, which can assemble spontaneously, possibly in the presence of a lipid membrane or an element of the cytoskeleton [42] which are themselves supramolecular complexes. Some of these complexes, e.g. snail haemocyanin [4o], are merely assembled from a very large number of identical subunits vimses are much larger and more elaborate and we are still some way from understanding the processes controlling the assembly of the wonderfully intricate and beautiful stmctures responsible for the iridescent colours of butterflies and moths [44].

Clearly the genes, yet to be identified, which control ABA synthesis will be of interest and should offer another class of stress-inducible promoter and enhancer elements. Some intense biochemistry and protein chemistry lie ahead for those who undertake this gene cloning exercise via the cDNA route.

We have largely left on one side some functions of one element often thought of as a nonmetal, i.e. hydrogen, since it shares functions of both metals and non-metals (see Section 2.22). We have therefore placed a paragraph on hydrogen biochemistry after the description of metal ion functions in cells (see Section 4.17).

An important point to note here and elsewhere in the description of cell activity is that the particular nature of calcium biochemistry, including the availability of the element and its necessary rejection from the prokaryote cell, when linked to stimulated input and interaction with specific internal proteins of selected properties, made it uniquely suitable for the function as an elementary ionic fast in/out messenger. It was then capable of signalling to cell changes once cell size and organisation increased beyond the elementary level of a cell with one small, rapidly...
