…But from this period on, virology began to form the basis of the current development of molecular biology. In 1935, WMStanley succeeded in crystallizing the tobacco mosaic virus, which sparked a debate about whether the crystallized virus was living or non-living. Although it is still difficult to answer this question today, Stanley's research was continued in the pursuit of the chemical basis of genes, which carry genetic information. …

From the Tobacco Mosaic Virus

...This was the first experiment to show the existence of filterable pathogens, i.e. viruses. Furthermore, in 1935, Wendel M. Stanley (1904-71) isolated the tobacco mosaic virus as a virus for the first time as a crystal. Until then, viruses were believed to be microorganisms similar to bacteria, so Stanley's experimental results sparked a debate about whether viruses were living organisms and what life was.

…しかしこの時期以降,ウイルス学は現在の分子生物学の発展の基盤を形づくるようになってくる。35年スタンリーW.M.Stanleyはタバコモザイクウイルスの結晶化に成功したが,このことは,結晶化したウイルスが生物か無生物かという論議をひき起こした。この問いに答えることは今日でも難しいが,スタンリーの研究は,遺伝情報の担い手である遺伝子の化学的本体の追求へと引き継がれていった。…
