摘要
本文就生物信息学的定义,研究的基本问题和可能取得的突破进行了综述,内容包括分子生物学数据库、DNA序列分析、蛋白质结构预测和分子进化等;并着重指出:科学发展史表明,科学数据的巨大积累将导致重大的科学发现。开普勒三大定律和元素周期表的发现和氢原子量子理论的建立无不如此。有理由认为,20世纪末生物学数据的巨大积累也必将导致重大的生物学规律的发现。
In this paper the definition, the basic problems and the possible breakthrough of Bioinformatics, including biological databases, analysis of DNA sequences, and prediction of protein structures and molecular evolution, are reviewed . The paper is points out with emphasis that the history of science development demonstrates that the vast accumulation of scientific data will lead to great scientific discoveries. The discovery of Kepler three laws and the periodic table of chemical elements as well as the establishment of the quantum theory of hydrogen atom are typical examples. it is reasonable to infer that the vast accumulation of biological data by the end of this century would lead to the discovery of great biological laws.
