The idea would be in my mind - and I know it sounds strange - is that the most important advances in medicine would be made not by new knowledge in molecular biology, because that's exceeding what we can even use. It'll be made by mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, figuring out a way to get all that information together.

Karl Landsteiner

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.

Austrian Scientist

Christian de Duve

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.

Belgian Scientist

Nina Fedoroff

New molecular methods that add or modify genes can protect plants from diseases and pests and improve crops in ways that are both more environmentally benign and beyond the capability of older methods.

American Scientist

Richard J. Roberts

Much of my work in biology has been driven by my early training in chemistry. When studying a new chemical compound, the first and most important thing is to determine its detailed molecular structure.

English Scientist

Ryoji Noyori

Molecular chirality plays a key role in science and technology. In particular, life depends on molecular chirality in that many biological functions are inherently dissymmetric.

Japanese Scientist

K. Eric Drexler

The really big difference is that what you make with a molecular machine can be completely precise, down to the tiniest degree of detail that can exist in the world.

Frances Arnold

I wanted to rewrite the code of life, to make new molecular machines that would solve human problems.

Homaro Cantu

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

American Inventor

John Pople

I was a close observer of the developments in molecular biology.

Use 'molecular' to evoke a mental image of tiny, detailed structures.

Visual Imagery

'Molecular' is typically used in scientific contexts, rarely in everyday speech.

Science Specific

It's often used to describe concepts that aren't physically seen but are scientifically understood.

Abstract Concepts

Implies studying something extensively at the smallest scale.

Detailed Study

Can indicate the point at which something can no longer be divided and still perform its function.

Independent Existence

Highlights the focus on the most fundamental levels of research.

Intensive Research

Suggests a specialized, academic field of study or research.

Academic Focus

The term is core in subjects that involve studying molecules, like molecular biology.

Study of Molecules

Relates to research that dives deeply into the nature and behavior of molecules.

Specialized Research

 But the experiment is not the end of the story, because you still have to transmit that knowledge to other people. I have a Ph.D in molecular biology. I still barely understand what most scientists are talking about. So as my friend was trying to explain that experiment, it seemed like the more he said,
