John Maynard Smith

#4. All life is nucleic acid; the rest is commentary

Isaac Asimov

#5. One can say, looking at the papers in this symposium, that the elucidation of the genetic code is indeed a great achievement. It is, in a sense, the key to molecular biology because it shows how the great polymer languages, the nucleic acid language and the protein language, are linked together.

Francis Crick

#6. How is the base sequence, divided into codons? There is nothing in the backbone of the nucleic acid, which is perfectly regular, to show us how to group the bases into codons.

Francis Crick

#7. 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

#8. We wish to discuss a structure for the salt of deoxyribose nucleic acid. (D.N.A.). This structure has novel features which are of considerable biologic interest.

Rosalind Franklin

#9. It seems likely that most if not all the genetic information in any organism is carried by nucleic acid - usually by DNA, although certain small viruses use RNA as their genetic material.

Francis Crick

#10. I feel now, as we did then, that for an effective approach to the problem of nucleic acid biosynthesis, it was essential to understand the biosynthesis of the simple nucleotides and the coenzymes and to have these concepts and methodology well in hand.

Arthur Kornberg

#11. Photographers mistake the emotion they feel while taking the photo as a judgment that the photograph is good

Garry Winogrand

#12. Writing and learning and thinking are the same process.

William Zinsser

Peter Green

#21. People. Products. Profits. In that order.

Ken Goldstein

#22. Nucleic acids are the main information-carrying molecules of the cell, and, by directing the process of protein synthesis, they determine the inherited characteristics of every living thing. The two main classes of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).

Richard J. Roberts

#23. Nothing you say can ensure that the other person will get it, or respond the way you want. You may never exceed his threshold of deafness.
