Roland Piquepaille writes "A researcher from the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) claims that 68 molecules can explain the origins of many serious diseases. After reviewing findings from multiple disciplines, he 'realized that only 68 molecular building blocks are used to construct these four fundamental components of cells: the nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), proteins, glycans and lipids.' and he said that 'these 68 building blocks provide the structural basis for the molecular choreography that constitutes the entire life of a cell.' So is his unified vision of the building blocks of life correct? We'll soon discover this when other scientists look at his results. But read more for additional details and an illustration showing these 68 molecular building blocks."
