Life Quote by Frances Arnold

Proteins are the machinery of living tissue that builds the structures and carries out the chemical reactions necessary for life.

— Michael Behe

Our cells engage in protein production, and many of those proteins are enzymes responsible for the chemistry of life.

— Randy Schekman

The cell, this elementary keystone of living nature, is far from being a peculiar chemical giant molecule or even a living protein and as…

Life is the mode of action of proteins.

— Friedrich Engels

Almost all aspects of life are engineered at the molecular level, and without understanding molecules we can only have a very sketchy understanding of…

In my lab, we are always thinking about how cells, bacterial cells, can talk to each other and then organize themselves into enormous groups…

— Bonnie Bassler

Think about the whole world of biological complex sciences. We still don't understand the way a protein folds the way it does.

— Ahmed H. Zewail

One of the major lessons in all of biochemistry, cell biology and molecular medicine is that when proteins operate at the sub cellular level,…
