of life" led to the discovery of the most essential molecule in this world. It is the molecule of life... it is life. Through the process of replication, a new one is formed and, as Watson and Crick stated, it is "as close as we will ever come to immortality." It represents, not just a structure 20 nm thick, but a victory of science, and a molecule found in everything that is living and gives life.
