Biology is a spectacular organisation of chemistry on the cellular and molecular level. Proteins form the gears, bearings and crankshafts of the engine that we know as a living organism. Diseases are caused by compromised machinery in the form of broken proteins, or invasion by foreign organisms... Since the 1960s, structural biology has led the discovery process, establishing the rules of protein composition, expression, folding and static structure to subatomic accuracy. However, compared to this progress, we are not much further towards building our own machines and our own biotechnological engines, the ultimate form of green chemistry.
