Analysis Quote by John E. Walker

Enzymes are masters of chemistry. They evolved over billions of years to perform specific biological functions. They make complex materials with virtually no waste.

— Frances Arnold

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

— Randy Schekman

As a progressive discipline [biochemistry] belongs to the present century. From the experimental physiologists of the last century it obtained a charter, and, from…

— Frederick Gowland Hopkins

Much of my work in biology has been driven by my early training in chemistry. When studying a new chemical compound, the first and…

— Richard J. Roberts

Studies in the emerging field of cellular bioenergetics, a branch of biochemistry concerned with how energy flows through living systems, suggest that molecules from…

— Lawrence Osborne

“For an enzyme to be functional, it must fold into a precise three-dimensional shape. How such a complex folding can take place remains a…

— T. Colin Campbell

“This chapter reveals and elaborates upon the exquisite beauty of protein structure.”

— Reginald H. Garrett

We can track and see the production of single molecules, trace them and see how they assemble into structures.

— Eric Betzig

By combining chemical, biochemical and physical techniques, it has thus become possible to investigate the nature of enzymic catalysis in a novel manner, complementary…

— John Cornforth

I thought in my Nobel Lecture I pointed that I was delighted that the Swedish Academy of Science did not quote anything about my…

— Ahmed H. Zewail

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

“The dogma of the impossibility of determining the atomic constitution of substances, which until recently was advocated with such fervor by the most able…
