It's making sense. Not to turn this into a clinic, but when you say "control", are you speaking exclusively of extracellular control? Thanks Mike. It's making sense.

Control is more of a function/concept. The idea here is that you have four basic biological molecules - lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). Proteins interface with lipids and nucleic acids to form core structural/function features of life. The protein-carbohydrate connection clearly exists in the myraid of glycoproteins, but I was looking for some structural analog and the best fit seems to be the ECM. Hi chunkdz,

This somehow reminds me of a recent Nature article that discusses the dark matter matrix that galaxies are built upon. http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v445/n7125/abs/nature05497.html Hmmm, more design needed.
