CHAPTER 2 BASICS OF MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

INTRODUCTION

Molecular Biology is the field of biology that studies the composition, structure and interactions of cellular molecules – such as nucleic acids and proteins – that carry out the biological processes essential for the cell's functions and maintenance.

Since the late 1950s and early 1960s, molecular biologists have learned to characterize, isolate, and manipulate the molecular components of cells and organisms includes DNA[1] (Deoxyribonucleic Acid), the repository of genetic information; RNA[2] (Ribonucleic Acid), a close relative of DNA[1]; and proteins, the major structural and enzymatic type of molecule in cells.
