Abstract
One of the most interesting and fascinating facts about biology is the existence of ordered structures in the organelles. The electron microscopic and X-ray diffraction studies have shown that in living systems the molecules are, in fact, arranged in strict order and are present in aggregates.
Give us a light there, ho!
