Arthur Kornberg’s ground-breaking research into DNA helped scientists develop new drugs and techniques to fight diseases ranging from cancer to AIDS. Kornberg’s discovery of DNA polymerase enabled scientists to make copies of DNA, the molecule that carries each living organism’s genetic information. For his work, Kornberg shared the Nobel ...
Dec 15, 2007 · Arthur Kornberg. Nobel-winning biochemist who discovered DNA polymerase. Born on March 3, 1918, in Brooklyn, NY, USA, he died of respiratory failure on Oct 26, 2007, in Stanford, CA, USA, aged 89 years. Robert Baldwin met Arthur Kornberg in 1958 at a conference on biophysics in Boulder, CO, USA. Kornberg, who was about to move from Washington ...
Oct 26, 2007 · Arthur Kornberg took an interest in the way DNA and RNA are formed, and which enzymes steer this process. Enzymes are substances that speed up chemical processes inside organisms' cells without being consumed. By studying bacteria, Kornberg succeeded in isolating DNA polymerase in 1956–an enzyme that is active in the formation of DNA.
Dec 7, 2007 · Arthur Kornberg (1918-2007) A rthur Kornberg, who had a life-long love affair with enzymes, died on 26 October surrounded by his family and mourned by his extended family of students and colleagues. It is not surprising that only 2 weeks before, he had been actively summarizing decades of work on polyphosphate for a review article.
Arthur Kornberg 1943-ban feleségül vette Sylvy Ruth Levyt. Három fiuk született, Roger Kornberg ( kémiai Nobel-díjas strukturális biológia professzora a Stanford Egyetemon ), Thomas Kornberg (a biokémia és biofizika professzora az San Franciscói Kaliforniai Egyetemen ) és Kenneth Kornberg (laboratóriumokra specializálódott építész).
Oct 30, 2007 · Arthur Kornberg, winner of the 1959 Nobel Prize for his work elucidating how DNA is built, died Oct. 26 at Stanford Hospital of respiratory failure. He was 89. 'Dr. Kornberg was one of the most distinguished and remarkable scientists in American medicine,' said Philip Pizzo, dean of the Stanford University School of Medicine.
The Synthesis of DNA, 1953-1959. Kornberg's success in unraveling the process of coenzyme synthesis established him as a biochemist by the early 1950s. It had also suggested to him that other large molecules such as the nucleic acids RNA and DNA would be synthesized in a similar way. He began his investigations into nucleic acid synthesis ...
