Molecular evolution

In most cases, new challenges that an organism faces, are solved by the adaptation of an existing macromolecule, rather than by the evolution of an entirely new one.

Biochemical genetics


Structural biology

Structural biology has greatly benefited biochemistry, with the discovery of the detailed 3-dimensional structure of macromolecules. See Protein structure analysis

there is an intimate relation between structure (form) and function in biology
