'Molecular biology' is the branch of biology that studies biological activity at the molecular level — particularly the interactions between DNA, RNA, and proteins that constitute the machinery of heredity and metabolism. It emerged in the mid-twentieth century as the confluence of genetics and biochemistry, promising that the secrets of life could be read from the molecular alphabet. That promise was half-kept: molecular biology delivered extraordinary mechanism but failed to deliver the organizational principles that turn mechanisms into living systems. The central dogma — DNA makes RNA makes protein — describes information flow, not system function. To understand why cells do what they do, molecular biology must be integrated with [[Systems Biology|systems biology]], with the physics of [[Protein Folding|protein folding]], and with the evolutionary logic of [[Comparative Genomics|comparative genomics]].
