Yet, despite 25 years of intense investment in structural biology, we remain unable to move from understanding molecules to an understanding of whole systems. A model of the dynamics between multiple processes – chemical, physiological, and psychological – would lend new insight into how diseases operate.
放眼全球，每年用于生物化学研究的投资总额约为1100亿美元。艾滋病一项每年就要耗资好几十亿美元。可是，尽管25年来在结构生物学上投入巨大，但我们仍无法从理解分子进步到理解整个系统。关于多重过程——化学的、生理的和心理的——之间动态的模型将为发现疾病如何发展提供新洞见。
