Computers Quote by K. Eric Drexler

When I started engineering proteins I didn't know how hard it would be.

— Frances Arnold

I realized that the way most people were going about protein engineering was doomed failure.

— 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

Nanotechnology is the idea that we can create devices and machines all the way down to the nanometer scale, which is a billionth of…

— Paul McEuen

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

— Frances Arnold

“The cloning of human genes allowed scientists to manufacture proteins-and the synthesis of proteins opened the possibility of targeting the millions of biochemical reactions…

— Siddhartha Mukherjee

If you want to compete in bioinformatics, first you need to compete for really smart people. You need really smart people who understand how…

— Juan Enriquez

A molecular manufacturing technology will let us build molecular surgical tools, and those tools will, for the first time, let us directly address the…

— Ralph Merkle

It is now widely realized that nearly all the 'classical' problems of molecular biology have either been solved or will be solved in the…

— Sydney Brenner

Protein synthesis is a central problem for the whole of biology, and that it is in all probability closely related to gene action.

— Francis Crick

The really big difference is that what you make with a molecular machine can be completely precise, down to the tiniest degree of detail…

— K. Eric Drexler

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