moleculesdetermines
Moleculesdetermines is a term used to describe the principle that the properties, behaviors, and functions of a system are fundamentally determined by its molecular composition and arrangement. It emphasizes that molecules—through their types, quantities, connectivity, three-dimensional shape, and interactions—set the stage for phenomena observed at larger scales. While not a formal field, the concept appears across chemistry, biology, materials science, pharmacology, and physics as a way to frame how molecular details govern macroscopic outcomes.
Key ideas within this concept include the influence of chemical composition and stoichiometry, the role of
Applications of the underlying principle span drug design, materials engineering, and environmental science. Rational design often
Limitations exist: not all system-level behaviors are reducible to a single molecular description, as environment, organization,
