Best Quote by Frances Arnold

Proteins aren't designed, they're evolved.

— Frances Arnold

The advance of genetic engineering makes it quite conceivable that we will begin to design our own evolutionary progress.

— Isaac Asimov

Using the power of protein engineering and evolution, we can convince enzymes to take what they do poorly and do it really well.

— Frances Arnold

My laboratory uses evolution to design new enzymes. No one really knows how to design them - they are tremendously complicated. But we are…

— Frances Arnold

No human can design a good enzyme, yet we are surrounded by them after 3.5 billion years of work by evolution.

— Frances Arnold

I had been impressed by the fact that biological systems were based on molecular machines and that we were learning to design and build…

— K. Eric Drexler

In the end, it's clear that the incorporation of synthetic biology in product and architectural design will enable the transition from designs that are…

— Neri Oxman

Biological engineering is not necessarily understanding systems but rather, I want to be able to design and build biological systems to perform particular applications.

— Drew Endy

Jellyfish serve as a model for bioengineers for the same reason yeast were once so valuable to geneticists: they're simple to deconstruct.

— Jeffrey Kluger

Protein engineering is a technology of molecular machines - of molecular machines that are part of replicators - and so it comes from an…

— K. Eric Drexler

We know from astronomy that the universe had a beginning, from physics that the future is both open and unpredictable, from geology and paleontology…

— Kenneth R. Miller

Evolution is good for optimising and that is well understood. But evolution also creates things that no one knew were even possible.
