‘Arrival of
molecular biology‘ |
she double helix structure of DNA was discovered
by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953. As a result, biology accomplished big development in 50 years.
From this discovery, the molecular biology studied on a molecule level from the position of physics and chemistry attracted attention. And it induced the big result.
It succeeded in molecular biology explaining a life phenomenon as behavior of a molecule. For example,
the duplicate of DNA, transfer RNA, Messenger RNA, etc. Now, the knowledge of molecular biology is applied in the field broad as medicine, pharmacy, agriculture, and engineering as biotechnology. |
