Levers for Biological Progress

Codon

Molecular biology has only been around for about 80 years, and tools to study biomolecules (such as DNA and RNA sequencing, or proteomics) have only existed for about half of that time. We are in the absolute infancy of molecular and cell biology, and this means there’s a lot of stuff we still don’t understand.

However, despite rapid progress in the field of protein biology, “core” features of these molecular machines — how they fold, how they change shape, and how simple strings of amino acids can yield forms of incredible complexity — remain unknown. Proteins designed by David Baker’s laboratory, 2003-2023.
