central dogma Molecular biology The pedagogical tenet that translation of a protein invariably follows a chain of molecular command, where DNA acts as the template for both its own replication and for the transcription to RNA–and with
subsequent maturation, to mRNA, which then serves as a template for translation into a protein. See DNA, Nucleic acid, Protein, Reverse transcription, RNA, RNA polymerase. Cf Prion.

A master both of detail and of the big picture, he found the "key to history" in religion--the fact that, as he believed, human beings are naturally religious--and ultimately in the central dogma of Catholicism, in the unique balance of spiritual and material brought about by the Hypostatic Union. For here is a central dogma of revisionism: we learn more from members of other religions than they do from us. This central dogma of the Catholic faith, Elchinger continued, has at times been better maintained outside than within Roman Catholicism, and if Catholics are now rediscovering it, it is largely because of the ecclesial communities issuing from the sixteenth-century Reformation. |
