I began studying ribosomes as a postdoctoral fellow in Peter Moore's laboratory in 1978.

And you are made of a hundred trillion cells. We are, each of us, a multitude.

A cell is a complex structure, with its investing membrane, nucleus, and nucleolus.

A cell is regarded as the true biological atom.

Although separating mitochondria and microsomes might appear worlds apart from the determination of the molecular weight of macromolecules, certain concepts were common to the two operations and could be usefully transposed from the latter to the former.

There are over 7,000 different types of proteins in typical eukaryotic cells; the total number depends on the cell class and function.

I remember vividly my student days, spending hours at the light microscope, turning endlessly the micrometric screw, and gazing at the blurred boundary which concealed the mysterious ground substance where the secret mechanisms of cell life might be found.

The significant chemicals of living tissue are rickety and unstable, which is exactly what is needed for life.

Words originating from the verb 'to die' were frequently used when I described my initial plans to determine the ribosome structure.

The more the relationships of the nitrogen-rich substances to the cell nucleus were recognized, the more the question of the arrangement of the nitrogen and carbon atoms in the molecule came to stand out.

In many biological structures proteins are simply components of larger molecular machines.

I knew the lysosomes and peroxisomes because I had discovered them; I knew the mitochondria because I was interested in them. I knew the membrane system because my friend, George Palade, had worked on that.
