Molecular research refers to scientific investigations focused on understanding the structure, function, and interactions of molecules in biological systems. It involves studying DNA, proteins, enzymes, and other molecular components.
Imagine molecular research as exploring an intricate puzzle made up of tiny pieces. Scientists carefully examine each piece (molecule) to figure out its shape, role, and how it fits into the bigger picture (biological system).
Genetics: The study of genes and heredity patterns in living organisms.
Cell Biology: The branch of science that examines the structure and function of cells.
Proteomics: The study of all proteins present in a cell or organism at any given time.
