Biology Quote by Frances Arnold

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

I wanted to make enzymes that would solve human problems, not just problems for a cell that makes them.

— Frances Arnold

Mother Nature has been the best bioengineer in history. Why not harness the evolutionary process to design proteins?

— Frances Arnold

We are intelligent atoms. We are intelligent organic structures. We can change who we are. We can heal ourselves. With genetic engineering, we are…

— Frederick Lenz

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

We owe our existence to innovation. Our species exists thanks to four billion years of genetic innovation.

— Gary Hamel

The biological world always seems poised to innovate.

— Frances Arnold

The conclusion of intelligent design flows naturally from the data itself—not from sacred books or sectarian beliefs. Inferring that biochemical systems were designed by…

We have to accept that we are just machines. That's certainly what modern molecular biology says about us.

— Rodney Brooks

This idea that things are designed to go back to nature or industry for ever which is our articulation of these two metabolisms are…
