MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology. Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 2QH. The central dogma of molecular biology deals with the detailed residue-by-residue t ransfer of sequential information. It states that such information cannot be transferred from protein to either. protein or nucleic acid. "The central dogma, enunciated by Crick in 1958 and the ...

The central dogma of molecular biology states that DNA contains instructions for making a protein, which are copied by RNA. RNA then uses the instructions to make a protein. In short: DNA → RNA → Protein, or DNA to RNA to Protein.
Sep 18, 2017 · Students are now often mistakenly taught that the central dogma is something like ‘DNA → RNA → protein’ (as popularised by Watson in his 1965 textbook Molecular Biology of the Gene [ 18 ]) or, even less precisely, ‘DNA makes RNA makes protein’ (as first suggested by Jean Brachet in 1960 [ 19 ]).

The central dogma of molecular biology deals with the flow of genetic information within a biological system. It is often stated as "DNA makes RNA, and RNA makes protein", [1] although this is not its original meaning. It was first stated by Francis Crick in 1957, [2] [3] then published in 1958: [4] [5] The Central Dogma.
A PDF article that explains the concept of information flow in molecular biology, and the central dogma that sequence information can be transferred among nucleic acids, and from nucleic acids to proteins, but not vice versa. The article also discusses the historical context, the reverse transcriptase discovery, and the refutation of Lamarckism.
