Robert William Holley (January 28, 1922 – February 11, 1993) was an American biochemist. He shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1968 (with Har Gobind Khorana and Marshall Warren Nirenberg) for describing the structure of alanine transfer RNA, linking DNA and protein synthesis .
Robert William Holley was an American biochemist who shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1968 with Marshall Warren Nirenberg and Har Gobind Khorana. Their research helped explain how the genetic code controls the synthesis of proteins.

Biochemist Robert W. Holley discovered the first nucle-otide sequence of an RNA molecule, alanine transfer RNA (tRNA). This was also, indirectly, the first nucleotide sequence of a gene. For his groundbreaking research, Holley was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1968, sharing the honor with Har Gobind

Feb 14, 1993 · Robert W. Holley, a biologist who won the Nobel Prize for unraveling the genetic code of ribonucleic acid, or RNA, died Thursday at his home in Los Gatos, Calif. He was 71.
Holley was one of the discoverers of the special type of nucleic acid called transfer-RNA. Having developed techniques for determining the structure of nucleic acids, Holley isolated alanine transfer RNA and determined the total sequence of nucleotides in this polynucleotide chain.
The 1968 Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine was shared by 3 scientists, Robert W. Holley, Har Gobind Khorana (1922-), and Marshall W. Nirenberg (1927-), for research that helped to explain how genetic components of the cell nucleus control the synthesis of proteins.
