Study Notes

Foundations of Molecular Biology

Basic model

Think of DNA as a master cookbook written in a four-letter alphabet. Your cells don't read the cookbook directly; instead, they photocopy specific recipes (transcription) and then send those copies to a factory (the ribosome) that assembles a meal (protein) following each recipe. When a cell divides, it must copy the entire cookbook accurately (replication). DNA holds information; RNA carries messages; proteins do jobs. That's the heartbeat of molecular biology.
