Most people- scientists in the areas of chemistry and molecular biology- would say that molecular biology is high up enough on the stack that reducing it to chemistry doesn&#x27;t make sense.  Sure, you&#x27;re working with molecules.  But you are working with so many of them that you have to use abstractions to think about it.<p>Now, <i>biochemistry</i>, that makes sense to compare to chemistry.  Biochemistry is organic chemistry (plus a little bit of metal chemistry), although the complexity of an enzyme is such that we often using abstractions.
