. The biosynthesis of proteins. Proteins -- Synthesis. 4 THE BIOSYNTHESIS OF PROTEINS At the time of writing, no single problem of protein biosynthesis is com- pletely solved, but the problems at least are clearly stated. The technology of protein biosynthesis is partly understood; the systems which supervise and control the process are being eagerly investigated and some of the key principles upon which they operate are known already. Nucleic acids are all important in these systems. Here chemistry and genetics meet and a new fascinating field opens: molecular biology. Maximum radius. 20A -^—
