Bohr, Delbrück and Schrödinger were physicists who had important influences on biology in the second half of the twentieth century. They thought that future studies of the gene might reveal new principles or paradoxes, analogous to the wave/particle paradox of light propagation, or even new physical laws. This stimulated several physicists to enter the field of biology. Delbrück founded the bacteriophage group which provided one of the roots of molecular biology. Another was X-ray crystallography which led to the discovery of DNA structure. The strength and success of molecular biology came from the many interactions between geneticists, physicists, chemists and biochemists. It was also characterized by a powerful combination of theoretical and experimental approaches.
玻尔、德尔布吕克和薛定谔都是物理学家，他们在20世纪下半叶对生物学产生了重要影响。他们认为，未来对基因的研究可能会揭示新的原理或悖论，类似于光传播的波/粒二象性悖论，甚至可能发现新的物理定律。这促使几位物理学家进入生物学领域。德尔布吕克创立了噬菌体研究小组，该小组为分子生物学奠定了基础之一。另一个基础是X射线晶体学，它促成了DNA结构的发现。分子生物学的强大力量和成功源于遗传学家、物理学家、化学家和生物化学家之间的诸多互动。它还具有理论方法与实验方法强有力结合的特点。
