Quotes About Molecules

Molecular biology is essentially the practice of biochemistry without a license.

Life is not found in atoms or molecules or genes as such, but in organization; not in symbiosis but in synthesis.

Life ... is a relationship between molecules.

We are at the beginning of a new era of immunochemistry, namely the production of "antibody based" molecules.

I try to identify myself with the atoms ... I ask what I would do If I were a carbon atom or a sodium atom.

There is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms acting according to the laws of physics.

Science has revealed that the human body is made up of millions and millions of atoms... For example, I am made up of 5.8x10^27 atoms.

Molecules don't have patterns. You create a pattern by the perception of something. The continuity of awareness is your perceptual field. Existence only occurs through the act of perception.

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

I have lived much of my life among molecules. They are good company.

What matters is our velocity. At this speed, the friction from hitting those air molecules so fast it's hotter than an industrial furnace.

A butterfly could flap its wings and set molecules of air in motion, which would move other molecules of air, in turn moving more molecules of air— eventually capable of starting a hurricane on the other side of the planet.

Avogadro's constant (also Avogadro's number) n. [CHEMISTRY] the number of atoms or molecules in one mole of a substance, equal to 6.023 × 1023. Avogadro's law (also Avogadro's hypothesis) n. [CHEMISTRY] a law stating that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules.

I'm aware there are certain products that are being advertised - food products - with 'no chemicals whatsoever.' Well, that would be pretty hard to arrange, since everything around us is made up of atoms and molecules - chemicals - including ourselves.

No matter how closely you examine the water, glucose, and electrolyte salts in the human brain, you can't find the point where these molecules became conscious.

The difference between a gas and a liquid is that in the former, the atoms and molecules move to and fro in an independent existence, whereas in the latter, they are always in touch with one another, though they are changing partners continually.

An idea can be tested, whereas if you have no idea, nothing can be tested and you don't understand anything. The molecule that you make when you are getting sunburned or when you eat a lot of food is part of the same molecule that contains an endorphin or an opiate. No one has ever had a hypothesis about why the two are together.

What attracted me to immunology was that the whole thing seemed to revolve around a very simple experiment: take two different antibody molecules and compare their primary sequences.

The chemistry from compounds in the environment is orders of magnitude more complex than our best chemists can produce.

As analytical pharmacologists, what we are allowed to see of a new molecule's properties is totally dependent on the techniques of bioassay we use.

Molecular chirality plays a key role in science and technology. In particular, life depends on molecular chirality in that many biological functions are inherently dissymmetric.

When a liquid boils, the temperature has been raised to such a pitch that the evaporating molecules are sufficient in number and speed to lift off the air from the surface of the liquid and push it back en masse.

overwhelms you with tingling excitement give you pleasure because of internal molecules. Some researchers believe that thrills occur when molecules called endorphins are released. A drug called naloxone blocks those molecules and prevents music from inspiring

Creativity comes from the spiritual realm, the collective consciousness. And the mind is in a different realm than the molecules of the brain. The brain is a receiver, not a source.
