Molecular Quotes

What's been gratifying is to live long enough to see molecular biology and evolutionary biology growing toward each other and uniting in research efforts.
E. O. Wilson

Live, Long, Enough

Molecular gastronomy is not bad... but without sound, basic culinary technique, it is useless.
Alton Brown

Bad, Sound, Useless

We can grow crops less expensively because molecular manufacturing technology is inherently low cost.
Ralph Merkle

Technology, Less, Grow

A potato can grow quite easily on a very small plot of land. With molecular manufacturing, we'll be able to have distributed manufacturing, which will permit manufacturing at the site using technologies that are low-cost and easily available.
Ralph Merkle

Small, Able, Quite

I decided that the University of Sussex in Brighton was a good place for this work because it had a strong tradition in bacterial molecular genetics and an excellent reputation in biology.
Paul Nurse

Work, Good, Strong

One of the concepts essential to molecular manufacturing is that of a self-replicating manufacturing system. That concept has lagged behind in its acceptance.
Ralph Merkle

Acceptance, System, Behind

Manufacturing takes place in very large facilities. If you want to build a computer chip, you need a giant semiconductor fabrication facility. But nature can grow complex molecular machines using nothing more than a plant.
Ralph Merkle

Nature, Nothing, Place

Disease and ill health are caused largely by damage at the molecular and cellular level, yet today's surgical tools are too large to deal with that kind of problem.
Ralph Merkle

Health, Today, Problem

A molecular manufacturing technology will let us build molecular surgical tools, and those tools will, for the first time, let us directly address the problems at the very root level.
Ralph Merkle

Time, Technology, Problems

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

Simply, Machines, Biological

My cooking philosophy, what I try to do, is to make a cuisine where the produce and the product shines, compared to some current trends that are maybe more adding additional things, like molecular cuisine, with a lot of additives and chemicals, which are now showing that they could be bad for your health.
Joel Robuchon

Health, Bad, Philosophy

Right now, I am doing the reverse of molecular gastronomy. I'm working with scientists to find ingredients and produce that are proven to be good for you.
Joel Robuchon

Good, Find, Working

To say that mind is a product or function of protoplasm, or of its molecular changes, is to use words to which we can attach no clear conception.
Alfred Russel Wallace

Mind, Words, Changes

Molecular collision dynamics has been a wonderful area of research for all practitioners. This is especially true for those who were following the footsteps of pioneers and leaders of the field twenty years ago.
Yuan T. Lee

True, Wonderful, Research

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.
K. Eric Drexler

Down, Big, Difference

On the molecular scale, you find it's reasonable to have a machine that does a million steps per second, a mechanical system that works at computer speeds.
K. Eric Drexler

Find, Second, System

The other advantage is that in conventional manufacturing processes, it takes a long time for a factory to produce an amount of product equal to its own weight. With molecular machines, the time required would be something more like a minute.
K. Eric Drexler

Time, Long, Takes

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

Work, Respect, Focus

But while doing that I'd been following a variety of fields in science and technology, including the work in molecular biology, genetic engineering, and so forth.
K. Eric Drexler

Work, Science, Technology

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, Design, Fact

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

After, Wanted, Able

Protein engineering is a technology of molecular machines - of molecular machines that are part of replicators - and so it comes from an area that already raises some of the issues that nanotechnology will raise.
K. Eric Drexler

Technology, Issues, Machines

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.
Nina Fedoroff

Older, Both, Ways

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

Future, Whole, Idea

The moment I saw the model and heard about the complementing base pairs I realized that it was the key to understanding all the problems in biology we had found intractable - it was the birth of molecular biology.
Sydney Brenner

Moment, Problems, Found

In 1995, I founded The Molecular Sciences Institute with a gift from the Philip Morris Company where I hoped that we could create an environment where young people could pursue science in an atmosphere of harmonious purpose and high intellectual challenge.
Sydney Brenner

Science, Young, Challenge

By then, I was making the slow transition from classical biochemistry to molecular biology and becoming increasingly preoccupied with how genes act and how proteins are made.
Paul Berg

Made, Making, Act

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

Close, Biology, Observer

Few scientists acquainted with the chemistry of biological systems at the molecular level can avoid being inspired.
Donald Cram

Few, Inspired, Chemistry

In 1970, I had begun work on the basic pancreatic trypsin inhibitor which has later become the model compound for the development of protein NMR, molecular dynamics, and experimental folding studies in other laboratories.
Robert Huber

Work, Become, Later
