Metal-based life, fully known as metal-based carbon-based life. The enzyme systems within these organisms have undergone inconceivable modifications, in that the specific proteins that make up their bodies have, in part, amino acids in which the framework connecting the amino group and the carboxyl group is not carbon but specific metal elements. And some other amino acids form complexes with metal ions.
Considering the ability of metal elements to lose and gain electrons is not equal, when protein expressed by the original human genes is translated in this life system, additional electrons are produced. Under the orderly action of life, these proteins are arranged in specific areas in a specific manner.
Therefore, the protein complexes of metal-based life exhibit partial characteristics of metal cluster complexes.
Take, for example, the structure known as "Brain-Machine Barrier."
