Landmark Experiments in Molecular Biology critically considers breakthrough experiments that have constituted major turning points in the birth and evolution of molecular biology. These experiments laid the foundations to molecular biology by uncovering the major players in the machinery of inheritance and biological information handling such as DNA, RNA, ribosomes, and proteins. Landmark Experiments in Molecular Biology combines an historical survey of the development of ideas, theories, and profiles of leading scientists with detailed scientific and technical analysis.Includes detailed analysis of classically designed and executed experimentsIncorporates technical and scientific analysis along with historical background for a robust understanding of molecular biology discoveriesProvides critical analysis of the history of molecular biology to inform the future of scientific discoveryExamines the machinery of inheritance and biological information handling
