chlorophyll

a tetrapyrrole similar to heme but with a reduced ring and a long phytol chain esterified on to a carboxylic acid side chain. Falls into the class of organic chemicals called polyenes, which have alternating networks of single and double bonds.
that's chlorophyll a in the chloroplast

atp synthase 

A large enzyme found on the inner mitachondrial membrane and the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts. has a rotating central stalk powered by chemiosmosis of protons. The rotation causes conformational changes of the enzyme moving the alpha and beta subunits relative to one another synthesising atp from adp and inorganic phosphate.
atp synthase is arguably gods most elegent creation.

(trademarked by godcorp) Security protocols which were implemented by the deity to prevent reverse enginerring by man.

Such examples include introns in eukaryotic genes (see also "intron") most notably those in the human genome, and the laws of quantum mechanics (which really pissed einstein off!).
theres a godlock code on that gene

A length of bases in a nucleic acid sequence inside of a gene which are not used in encoding the amino acid sequence in the protein. Either a result of that fact that eukaryotic cells haven't evolved the speedy reproduction methods of prokaryotic cells, or a security protocal which god designed to prevent humans from determining the genetic code and the human genome, kind of like a genetic region code
there's three introns and four exons on that gene

You want to anhialate kuwait? sounds like a strange thing for a neoconservative to say.
Please join neocon anonymous to help cool your rage.
