DEFENDING EXISTENCE - MOLECULAR INDIVIDUALISM
Nobel Laureate, Steven Chu ( United States Secretary of Energy), former Professor of Physics and Applied Physics, Stanford University has described that molecules can exhibit a surprising degree of individuality. In experiments that examine the physical behavior of single molecules, Stanford researchers have discovered that when identical polymers- long, flexible, spaghetti-like molecules that are found in everything from plastics to living cells- UNFOLD in a variety of different ways even when exposed to the same conditions. Professor Steven Chu had stated : "We discovered it because we have developed the ability to visualize and manipulate single molecules....Only by looking at individual animals you can get a true sense of the diversity of species." Chu had researched Biological Physics and Polymer Physics. Chu's research in Polymer Physics made use of individual molecules of DNA to study Polymer Dynamics.
We define our identity in the natural world and defend our existence by deploying unique protein molecules. Our genetic code determines the protein molecules that we use. The genetic code is made up of unique DNA strands that express Molecular Individualism. It arises from exceedingly small differences in the initial configuration of the polymer.
