When Watson and Crick in 1953 discovered the double helix structure of DNA they claimed to have discovered the secret of life. In biological terms there is much truth in that, because of course the structure of DNA tell us much about how it replicates and passes on information, But let us not forget what the DNA code is actually coding for – proteins! That’s right – every single gene is a code that instructs the cell which of the 20 amino acids to put in which places in order to make the structure of that particular protein; be it insulin or amylase. So – it could be argued that ...

As a tutor of Biology of about 20 years experience I quite often came across students who were struggling with the basics. Most often the subject of the basic biological molecules; proteins, carbohydrates and lipids, was causing them some confusion. Admittedly, for biology students who don't study chemistry, this subject can be a challenge. So what I have done in this book is give a summary of the most important points about these molecule groups in the easily understandable format, of a series of questions and answers. I have also included a chapter of key words, that I explain, before the...

The discovery of the structure of DNA, in 1953, by Watson and Crick, was arguably the most important discovery in biology of that century; and certainly one of the most important discoveries in science, ever. Around sixty years later; we have already cracked the human genome (we know the nature of all codes within the DNA in human beings) and can sequence DNA and copy DNA very quickly. Our knowledge of the evolutionary relationships between living things has been greatly improved by knowing the similarities and differences of their genes. Here are a few astonishing facts about DNA that have...
