The hierarchy of relations, from the molecular structure of carbon to the equilibrium of the species and ecological whole, will perhaps be the leading idea of the future. Joseph Needham

It turns out all molecular and biological systems have speeds of the atoms move inside them; the fastest possible speeds are determined by their molecular vibrations, and this speed is about a kilometre per second. Ahmed Zewail

I don't often meet people who want to suffer cardiovascular disease or whatever, and we get those things as a result of the lifelong accumulation of various types of molecular and cellular damage. Aubrey de Grey

When we consider the fact that nearly three-quarters of the surface of the globe is covered by oceanic water, we begin to realise that the molecular scattering of light in liquids may possess an astronomical significance, in fact contribute in an important degree to the observed albedo of the earth. C. V. Raman

Water Light Degree Important Consider Earth Possess Astronomical Significance Three-Quarters Fact Observed Globe Surface Covered Begin Contribute Liquid May In Fact Realise Molecular Nearly

What I was concerned with was life: what are the major features that are common to all living organisms that subtly define life. So I looked at the whole problem as a chemist, as a biochemist, and as a molecular biologist. Christian de Duve

Life Problem Living Define Features Major Looked Concerned Chemist Common Subtly Organisms Molecular Whole Living Organisms Biologist

Chemical compounds of carbon can exist in an infinite variety of compositions, forms and sizes. The naturally occurring organic substances are the basis of all life on Earth, and their science at the molecular level defines a fundamental language of that life. Elias James Corey

In my early work, our molecular views of telomeres were first focused on the DNA. Elizabeth Blackburn

Work First Early Work Our Focused Were Molecular Views Early

I've been around a long time, and I've been interested in memory for a long time. And one of my earlier interests in molecular biology of memory led me to define the switch that converts short term to long term memory. Eric Kandel

A molecular gastronomist is really just someone who explores the world of science and food. Homaro Cantu

Molecular biology has routinely taken problematic things under its wing without altering core ideas. Ian Hacking

Biology Wing Taken Ideas Altering Without Problematic Molecular Things Core

In research, I wanted to establish the medicinal chemistry/bioassay conjugation as an academic pursuit, as exciting to the imagination as astrophysics or molecular biology. James Black

Research Biology Imagination Pursuit Exciting Academic Establish Wanted Molecular Medicinal

Life does depend on accurate replication of molecules, and its complexity often requires that an enzyme shall accept one molecular species or type and transform it to equally specific products. John Cornforth

Life Depend Type Complexity Shall Accept Equally Does Accurate Often Transform Requires Molecular Molecules Products Species Specific

You can find academic and industrial groups doing some relevant work, but there isn't a focus on building complex molecular systems. In that respect, Japan is first, Europe is second, and we're third. K. Eric Drexler

I had been impressed by the fact that biological systems were based on molecular machines and that we were learning to design and build these sorts of things. K. Eric Drexler

Learning Build Design Machines Systems Fact Had Sort Were Been Impressed Molecular Molecular Machines Based Things Biological

After realizing that we would eventually be able to build molecular machines that could arrange atoms to form virtually any pattern that we wanted, I saw that an awful lot of consequences followed from that. K. Eric Drexler

Atoms Build Consequences Virtually Saw Machines Would Able Followed Could Arrange Lot Any Wanted Form After Pattern Realizing Molecular Molecular Machines Eventually Awful Awful Lot

Owing to the difficulty of dealing with substances of high molecular weight we are still a long way from having determined the chemical characteristics and the constitution of proteins, which are regarded as the principal con-stituents of living organisms. Karl Landsteiner

Biology is far from understanding exactly how a single cell develops into a baby, but research suggests that human development can ultimately be explained in terms of biochemistry and molecular biology. Most scientists would make a similar statement about evolution. Kenneth R. Miller

Single Understanding Research Biology Baby Statement Evolution Would Exactly About Similar Development Develops Most Terms Make How Scientists Ultimately Cell Human Human Development Explained Far Molecular Biochemistry

It's terrifying the way molecular biology has become more and more jargon ridden. But I strongly believe that my book can be read by the intelligent layman. I want everyone who bought a copy of 'A Brief History of Time' to buy a copy of 'Genome'. Matt Ridley

In many biological structures proteins are simply components of larger molecular machines. Michael Behe
