> Nature overcomes this with unbelievably complex protein repair structures that literally swap out defective proteins for new ones.
Interesting. Mind if I get a link to read up more on the subject? c:

I can't find an accessible video on the topic, but you want to look up photosystem II repair. You need to search up D1 replacement in photosystem II.
To get a flavour of the nanomachine aspect of it all, check out this video on electron transport across membranes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQmTKxI4Wn4).
Electron transport in proteins is crazy complex and actually amounts to molecular circuits where energy is guided to different spots inside proteins complexes in a unidirectional fashion. This guy is the grand daddy of the field (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge7m9-PEiB8).
All of these original animations were done by Drew Berry, Veritasium just packaged a few of them in an easy to digest format
