4. 分子生物学から見た生物の複雑さと多様性(<小特集> 複雑性の科学)

概要

Biological phenomena look very complex. The concept of complexity in Japanese, "fukuzatu", includes inability to be analyzed, suggesting a scientific way to approach complex phenomena. Separation of multiplicity from complexity is important, and multiplicity can be analyzed. In the history of molecular biology, the biological complexity was once expected to relate to a different version of physics, but the expectation was proved to be wrong. Since then biologists keep classifying multiplicity and solving the mechanisms underlying the multiplicity. Biologists were actually very successful, and it is difficult to find any boundary between biology, chemistry, and physics. This history and the factors to determine the history should be considered.
