Molecular Biology Section
Molecular biology is the study of biology at a molecular level. The field overlaps with other areas of biology and chemistry, particularly genetics and biochemistry.

Molecular biology chiefly concerns itself with
understanding the interactions between the various systems of a cell,
including the interrelationship of DNA, RNA and protein synthesis and
learning how these interactions are regulated. Writing in Nature, William Astbury described molecular biology as "... not so much a technique as an approach, an approach from the viewpoint of the so-called basic sciences with the leading idea of searching below the large-scale manifestations of classical biology for the corresponding molecular plan. It is concerned particularly with the forms of biological molecules and ..... is predominantly three-dimensional and structural - which does not mean, however, that it is merely a refinement of morphology - it must at the same time inquire into genesis& function" |
