Top 35 Amino Quotes

#1. It is one of the more striking generalizations of biochemistry - which surprisingly is hardly ever mentioned in the biochemical textbooks - that the twenty amino acids and the four bases, are, with minor reservations, the same throughout Nature.

#3. A comparison between the triplets tentatively deduced by these methods with the changes in amino acid sequence produced by mutation shows a fair measure of agreement.

Francis Crick

Amino Quotes #304658
#4. It now seems very likely that many of the 64 triplets, possibly most of them, may code one amino acid or another, and that in general several distinct triplets may code one amino acid.

Francis Crick

Amino Quotes #312994
#5. DNA is a code of four letters; proteins are made up of amino acids which come in 20 forms. So the ribosome is a very clever machine that reads one language and operates in another.

Ada Yonath

Amino Quotes #360836
#6. We know that if memory is destroyed in one part of the brain, it can be sometimes re-created on a different part of the brain. And once we can unravel that amino chain of chemicals that is responsible for memory, I see no reason why we can't unlock it and, essentially, wipe out what's there.

J. Michael Straczynski

Amino Quotes #374922
#7. One amino acid does not a protein make-let alone a being.

#8. People crave laughter as if it were an essential amino acid.

Patch Adams

Amino Quotes #411058
#9. The meaning of this observation is unclear, but it raises the unfortunate possibility of ambiguous triplets; that is, triplets which may code more than one amino acid. However one would certainly expect such triplets to be in a minority.

Francis Crick

Amino Quotes #460819
#10. The human genome is a script, waiting for the amino actors, the protein players to strut and fret their hour.

Johnny Rich

Amino Quotes #524067
#11. It now seems certain that the amino acid sequence of any protein is determined by the sequence of bases in some region of a particular nucleic acid molecule.

Francis Crick

Amino Quotes #637389
#12. That the primary effect of gene mutation may be as simple as the substitution of a single amino acid by another and may lead to profound secondary changes in protein structure and properties has recently been strongly indicated by the work of Ingram on hemoglobin.

Edward Lawrie Tatum

Amino Quotes #734735
#13. Unfortunately it makes the unambiguous determination of triplets by these methods much more difficult than would be the case if there were only one triplet for each amino acid.

Francis Crick

Amino Quotes #773255
#14. The study of the amino acid sequence around the disulphide bonds of the immunoglobulins was my own short-cut to the understanding of antibody diversity.

Cesar Milstein

Amino Quotes #788133
#15. Vegetables, grains, and legumes contain all the amino acids necessary to build muscle from scratch. Like

Christopher McDougall

Amino Quotes #817450
#16. The only religious opinion I feel sure of is this: self-awareness is not just a bunch of amino acids bumping together.

Robert A. Heinlein

Amino Quotes #848104
#17. I go to a poison registry and I find that no one has died from any overdose of any vitamins, herbs, or amino acids ... But FIVE THOUSAND people end up dying from drug reactions in a single year.

Gary Null

Amino Quotes #1012797
#18. Ribosomes contain RNA, messenger RNA provides the information, transfer RNAs brings the amino acids; so the protein-making machinery is an RNA machinery, completely.

Christian De Duve

Amino Quotes #1034929
#19. When you are taking fixed dosages of amino acids, what is happening in the kidneys mimics exactly what is happening in the brain.

Daniel Kalish

Amino Quotes #1066798
#20. Who could ever reckon up the damage done to love and friendship and all hopes of happiness by a surfeit or depletion of this or that neurotransmitter? And who will ever find a morality, an ethics down among the enzymes and amino acids when the general taste is for looking in the other direction?

Ian McEwan

Amino Quotes #1094582
#21. A heart is made of proteins built by amino acids, animated by electrical impulses.

Jennifer Donnelly

Amino Quotes #1098064
#22. Ribosomes have an error rate of about one letter in 10,000, far lower than the defect rate in our own high-quality manufacturing processes. And they operate at a rate of about 10 amino acids per second, building whole proteins with chains comprising hundreds of amino acids in less than a minute.

Nick Lane

Amino Quotes #1200420
#23. If you have a universe that was just the mirror image of the one we know about, then in fact, presumably it would have right-handed amino acids. That's why I'm only half kidding when I say there is a guy on the other side of the universe with his heart on the right hand side.

Ronald Breslow

Amino Quotes #1216426
#24. Part of my daily regime is my glucosamine and, of course, a multitude of multivitamins. Branched-chain amino acids, glutamine, of course protein. I have one protein shake a day, and that is immediately after my training.

Dwayne Johnson

Amino Quotes #1247499
#25. Make no mistake: if he rose at all
It was as His body;
If the cell's dissolution did not reverse, the molecule reknit,
The amino acids rekindle,
The Church will fall.

John Updike

Amino Quotes #1298487
#26. This seems highly likely, especially as it has been shown that in several systems mutations affecting the same amino acid are extremely near together on the genetic map.

Francis Crick

Amino Quotes #1312132
#27. Back in the day I took a lot of supplements and tons of amino acids. Still do. But back then it was pretty unusual. That's how I got the nickname The Chemist.

Frank Zane

Amino Quotes #1405028
#28. The mission of DNA is to evolve nervous systems able to escape from the doomed planet and contact manifestations of the same amino-acid seeding that have evolved in other solar systems. The mission is the message
to escape and come home.

Timothy Leary

Amino Quotes #1480100
#29. But all the vitamins, amino acids, protein etc. needed to get stronger can be found in abundance in plant foods. Anything that is a fruit, nut, grain or seed is vegan and there are thousands of those.

Robert Cheeke

Amino Quotes #1492500
#30. There's a new science out called orthomolecular medicine. You correct the chemical imbalance with amino acids and vitamins and minerals that are naturally in the body.

Margot Kidder

Amino Quotes #1524139
#31. It will be possible, through the detailed determination of amino-acid sequences of hemoglobin molecules and of other molecules too, to obtain much information about the course of the evolutionary process, and to illuminate the question of the origin of species.

Linus Pauling

Amino Quotes #1652173
#32. The basic structure of proteins is quite simple: they are formed by hooking together in a chain discrete subunits called amino acids.

#35. The balance of evidence both from the cell-free system and from the study of mutation, suggests that this does not occur at random, and that triplets coding the same amino acid may well be rather similar.

Francis Crick
