Molecular biology is a scientific discipline that encompasses a set of methods and techniques dedicated to the study of biological processes at the molecular level, with a primary focus on DNA, RNA, and proteins. It provides the conceptual and experimental framework required to understand how genetic information is stored, transmitted, regulated, and expressed within living cells.
A central objective of molecular biology is to elucidate how different cellular systems interact through gene regulation networks, molecular signaling pathways, and protein–protein interactions. These mechanisms govern cell differentiation, metabolism, response to environmental stimuli, and disease development.
At its core, molecular biology is founded on the central dogma of biology, which describes the directional flow of genetic information: DNA is transcribed into RNA, and RNA is subsequently translated into proteins that execute most cellular functions.
Products for Molecular Biology Workflows
A complete molecular biology workflow typically relies on a broad portfolio of specialized reagents and consumables, including:
- DNA and RNA extraction and purification kits
- PCR and qPCR enzymes and master mixes
- Cloning vectors and competent cells
- Nucleotides, buffers, and molecular biology-grade reagents
- Gel electrophoresis reagents and consumables
- Sequencing and NGS library preparation kits
These products are designed to ensure high sensitivity, reproducibility, and contamination control in both routine laboratory workflows and advanced research applications.
