How might knowledge of chemistry and biology (macromolecules) be used when considering industrial processes such as the production of fabrics?
Answers
Explanation:
All biological functions depend on events that occur at the molecular level. These events are directed, modulated, or detected by complex biological machines, which are themselves large molecules or clusters of molecules. Included are proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and complexes of them. Many areas of biological science focus on the signals detected by these machines or the output from these machines. The field of structural biology is concerned with the properties and behavior of the machines themselves. The ultimate goals of this field are to be able to predict the structure, function, and behavior of the machines from their chemical formulas, through the use of basic principles of chemistry and physics and knowledge derived from studies of other machines. Although we are still a long way from these goals, enormous progress has been made during the past two decades. Because of recent advances, primarily in recombinant DNA technology, computer science, and biological instrumentation, we should begin to realize the goals of structural biology during the next two decades.
