Document Summary

There are two major paths in understanding biology and how it works. One is to take a living creature and take it apart to understand subcellular components, from that you can learn how the living system works. The fundamental component of most cells that is important to cell structure and function are proteins. Biochemistry is the area of biology where you figure out biological function by isolating certain proteins. It looks at the function of the cell. Other pathway looks at organism as a whole and tries to get insight into biological function by looking at genes and taking a genetic approach. Proteins are the structural and functional molecule of a cell. If protein is more abundant, the function of that protein goes up. If less protein is made, the function of that protein should go down. How do you control protein abundance: transcriptional control: converting gene, dna, into mrna.
