As per Falkow's original descriptions, the three postulates are: [1] "The phenotype or property under investigation should be associated with pathogenic members of a genus or pathogenic strains of a species. Specific inactivation of the gene(s) associated with the suspected virulence trait should lead to a measurable loss in pathogenicity or ...
Falkow is known as the father of the field of molecular microbial pathogenesis. [1] He formulated molecular Koch's postulates, which have guided the study of the microbial determinants of infectious diseases since the late 1980s. [2] Falkow spent over 50 years uncovering molecular mechanisms of how bacteria cause disease and how to disarm them. [1]
Microbial pathogenesis is a field of microbiology that started at least as early as 1988, with the identification of the triune Falkow's criteria, aka molecular Koch's postulates.
In 1988, microbiologist Stanley Falkow developed a set of three Molecular Koch's postulates for identifying the microbial genes encoding virulence factors. First, the phenotype of a disease symptom must be associated with a specific genotype only found in pathogenic strains. Second, that symptom should not be present when the associated gene is ...
Folded, 3-D structure of ribonuclease A. Anfinsen's dogma, also known as the thermodynamic hypothesis, is a postulate in molecular biology.It states that, at least for a small globular protein in its standard physiological environment, the native structure is determined only by the protein's amino acid sequence.

An electron may form a part of the shell of two different atoms and cannot be said to belong to either one exclusively. Moreover, he proposed that an atom tended to form an ion by gaining or losing the number of electrons needed to complete a cube. Thus, Lewis structures show each atom in the structure of the molecule using its chemical symbol.
In quantum chemistry and molecular physics, the Born–Oppenheimer (BO) approximation is the best-known mathematical approximation in molecular dynamics. Specifically, it is the assumption that the wave functions of atomic nuclei and electrons in a molecule can be treated separately, based on the fact that the nuclei are much heavier than the electrons.
