    Abstract:

    At the time of COVID-19 pandemic everyone was introduced to at least one molecule of life called messenger RNA. Starting from this point, this lecture describes the three molecules of life, namely DNA, RNA and proteins, and outlines the history of the last 80 years on how the knowledge about these molecules was accrued and how the basis for the development of the vaccines that we are now using has been obtained. Important conclusions are drawn of each case.
