Abstract

Great biological concepts in the past have not been of the component, molecular type, but rather have been of the holistic, systems type (for example, those of Darwin, Freud, Pavlov). With the expanding scope of the physics and chemistry of large biomolecules (macromolecules) has emerged a new field, “molecular biology,” which ranks conceptually in importance with the great holistic biological theories.
