The Series ‘Topics in Molecular Organization and Engineering’ was initiated by the Symposium ‘Molecules in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology’, which was held in Paris in 1986. Appropriately dedicated to Professor Raymond Daudel, the symposium was both broad in its scope and penetrating in its detail. The sections of the symposium were: 1. The Concept of a Molecule; 2. Statics and Dynamics of Isolated Molecules; 3. Molecular Interactions, Aggregates and Materials; 4. Molecules in the Biological Sciences, and 5. Molecules in Neurobiology and So- ciobiology. There were invited lectures, poster .
