Redrawing the boundaries of molecular biology: The case of photosynthesis (1993)

unapi

Description “I would like to suggest that the current views on the origins of molecular biology are too limited ... As a case in point, I would like to examine the work done within plant physiology--specifically, the attempts by plant physiologists to explain the process of photosynthesis. This case will demonstrate that another area of biological study, that of `bioenergetics', or the transformation of energy by living systems, needs to be added to those of `structure' and `information' in the story of the rise of molecular biology.”
