Molecular biology is the study of biology at a molecular level. The field overlaps with other areas of biology and chemistry, particularly genetics and biochemistry. Molecular biology chiefly concerns itself with understanding the interactions between the various systems of a cell, including the interactions between DNA, RNA and protein biosynthesis as well as learning how these interactions are regulated.

Writing in Nature in 1961, William Astbury described molecular biology as

not so much a technique as an approach, an approach from the viewpoint of the so-called basic sciences with the leading idea of searching below the large-scale manifestations of classical biology for the corresponding molecular plan. It is concerned particularly with the forms of biological molecules and [...] is predominantly three-dimensional and structural—which does not mean, however, that it is merely a refinement of morphology. It must at the same time inquire into genesis and function.

Does molecular biology make a good premed major?
Q. Since my college does not offer a premedical major, yet would the major of molecular biology make a good substitute? What is the difference of molecular biology and regular biology? Would this be a major that would put me to sleep? If you could pick between biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, or chemistry, which major would you pick? Your decision needs to be useful and broad, so make you answer good!

A. The major that you choose really doesn't make a difference in getting into med school. You would be well prepared with any of those majors, so just pick the area that interests you the most. TIP: Med schools love to see "different" majors that show a broad spectrum of interests. For example, music majors are looked upon very favorably. As long as you get the pre-requisite courses done you'll be OK. Also, do lots of shadowing and volunteer work throughout your undergrad years.

Which major would lead to molecular biology?
Q. I am a student of microbiology, zoology and chemistry. I have to study all these three subjects for two years and in the third year I have to choose only one major. Which subject would best lead into a research career in molecular biology?

A. Most biological scientists need a Ph.D. degree in biology or one of its subfields to work in research or development positions. A period of postdoctoral work in the laboratory of a senior researcher has become common for biological scientists who intend to conduct research or teach at the university level. Education and training. A Ph.D. degree usually is necessary for independent research, industrial research, and college teaching, as well as for advancement to administrative positions. A master s degree is sufficient for some jobs in applied research, product development, management, or inspection; it also may qualify one to work as a research technician or a teacher. The bachelor s degree is adequate for some nonresearch jobs. For… [cont.]
