Molecule Quotes

“Once a molecule is asymmetric, its extension proceeds also in an asymmetrical sense. This concept completely eliminates the difference between natural and artificial synthesis. The advance of science has removed the last chemical hiding place for the once so highly esteemed vis vitalis.”
― Emil Fischer

“You want to test our apples?" Carter asked.
"I want to find out what makes them taste so special so that we can share that with other people, maybe lots of them." Grace saw Carter's perplexed expression. "You ever had a fruit-flavored soft drink?"
"Like an orange soda?"
"Exactly. Well, somebody found the perfect orange somewhere, studied it carefully, and then made a formula based on its special flavor so that anyone anywhere in the world could taste it."
"In a can of soda."
"Right."
"Very cool."
"Do you like peach ice cream?"
"Yes!"
"Well, a lot of the 'all-natural peach flavoring' that you taste in that ice cream is really Gamma-Aldehyde C-14, a molecule created by Nanjing Yuance Trade Company, which I'm sure is based on a perfect peach they found somewhere."
"So you're like a scientist-cook," Carter said excitedly.
"Something like that." Grace smiled.”

“Kila binadamu ana nguvu ya ziada katika mwili wake ijulikanayo kitaalamu kama ATP. ATP (‘Adenosine Triphosphate’) ni molekuli ndogo zaidi iliyoko ndani ya seli ambayo kazi yake ni kutengeneza nguvu ya ziada kwa ajili ya seli, na kwa ajili ya mwili mzima kwa jumla, pale mwili unapoonekana kukata tamaa au kuishiwa na nguvu kabisa. Ni kama jenereta ya umeme kwa ajili ya seli, inayofanya kazi pale umeme wa kawaida unapokatika.”
