• My main thesis will be that in the study of the intermediate processes of metabolism we have to deal not with complex substances which elude ordinary chemical methods, but with the simple substances undergoing comprehensible reactions... I intend also to emphasise the fact that it is not alone with the separation and identification of products from the animal that our present studies deal; but with their reactions in the body; with the dynamic side of biochemical phenomena.

• Si la creencia en la evolución es un requisito para ser un verdadero científico, es interesante considerar una cita del Dr. Marc Kirschner, presidente fundador del Departamento de Biología de Sistemas de la Facultad de Medicina de Harvard:
  "De hecho, en los últimos 100 años, casi toda la biología se ha desarrollado independientemente de la evolución, excepto la propia biología evolutiva. La biología molecular, la bioquímica, la fisiología, no han tenido en cuenta la evolución en absoluto.

• Todos los trabajos más recientes sobre la alcaptonuria han... reforzado la creencia de que el ácido homogentísico excretado se deriva de la tirosina, pero por qué los individuos alcaptonúricos pasan el anillo bencénico de su tirosina intacto y cómo y dónde se produce el peculiar cambio químico de tirosina a ácido homogentísico, siguen siendo problemas sin resolver.

• Beadle believed that genetics were inseparable from chemistry-more precisely, biochemistry. They were, he said, "two doors leading to the same room."

• De hecho, la caseína [la principal proteína de los productos lácteos] es el carcinógeno químico más "relevante" jamás identificado; sus efectos cancerígenos se producen en animales a niveles de consumo cercanos a los normales, a diferencia de las sustancias químicas medioambientales cancerígenas que se administran a animales de laboratorio a unos cientos o incluso miles de veces sus niveles normales de consumo.

• En los próximos diez años, una de las cosas que seguramente oirás es que la proteína animal es uno de los nutrientes más tóxicos de todos los que se pueden considerar. Sencillamente, cuanto más sustituyas los alimentos animales por alimentos vegetales, más sano estarás.

• La bioquímica y la biofísica son las notas necesarias para la vida; conspiran, colectivamente, para generar la unidad real de la vida, el organismo. El nivel intermedio, los acordes y los tempos, tiene que ver con cómo la bioquímica y la biofísica se organizan, se disponen, se interpretan en el espacio y el tiempo para producir una criatura que crece y se divide y es.

• The mechanist is intimately convinced that a precise knowledge of the chemical constitution, structure, and properties of the various organelles of a cell will solve biological problems. This will come in a few centuries. For the time being, the biologist has to face such concepts as orienting forces or morphogenetic fields. Owing to the scarcity of chemical data and to the complexity of life, and despite the progresses of biochemistry, the biologist is still threatened with vertigo.

• It could be that at some earlier time, somewhere in the universe, a civilization evolved by probably some kind of Darwinian means to a very, very high level of technology- and designed a form of life that they seeded onto perhaps this planet. And I suppose it's possible that you might find evidence for that if you look at the details of biochemistry, molecular biology, you might find a signature of some sort of designer.

• Biology is far from understanding exactly how a single cell develops into a baby, but research suggests that human development can ultimately be explained in terms of biochemistry and molecular biology. Most scientists would make a similar statement about evolution.

• For it is not cell nuclei, not even individual chromosomes, but certain parts of certain chromosomes from certain cells that must be isolated and collected in enormous quantities for analysis; that would be the precondition for placing the chemist in such a position as would allow him to analyse [the hereditary material] more minutely than [can] the morphologists ... For the morphology of the nucleus has reference at the very least to the gearing of the clock, but at best the chemistry of the nucleus refers only to the metal from which the gears are formed.

• Since Pawlow [Pavlov] and his pupils have succeeded in causing the secretion of saliva in the dog by means of optic and acoustic signals, it no longer seems strange to us that what the philosopher terms an 'idea' is a process which can cause chemical changes in the body.

• The conclusion of intelligent design flows naturally from the data itself - not from sacred books or sectarian beliefs. Inferring that biochemical systems were designed by an intelligent agent is a humdrum process that requires no new principles of logic or science. It comes simply from the hard work that biochemistry has done over the past forty years, combined with consideration of the way in which we reach conclusions of design every day.

• The first entirely vital action, so termed because it is not effected outside the influence of life, consists in the creation of the glycogenic material in the living hepatic tissue. The second entirely chemical action, which can be effected outside the influence of life, consists in the transformation of the glycogenic material into sugar by means of a ferment.

• Beyond natural history Other biological sciences take up the study at other levels of organization: dissecting the individual into organs and tissues and seeing how these work together, as in physiology; reaching down still further to the level of cells, as in cytology; and reaching the final biological level with the study of living molecules and their interactions, as in biochemistry. No one of these levels can be considered as more important than any other.

• The blood corpuscles take up the atmospheric oxygen in the lungs, and the vital chemical process accordingly depends essentially on the combination of oxygen absorbed by blood corpuscles with the combustible constituents of the blood to form carbonic acid and water.
