Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well- informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Arthur Kornberg, M.D., dated June 18, 1997. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.

    Scientific American: The Forgotten Code Cracker pagina 1 van 3 October 14, 2007 The Forgotten Code Cracker In the 1960s Marshall W. Nirenberg deciphered the genetic code, the combination of the A, T, G and C nucleotides that specify amino acids. So why do people think that Francis Crick did it? By Ed Regis In the summer of 2006 Marshall W. Nirenberg chanced on a just published biography of a prominent molecular biologist. It was entitled Francis Crick: Discoverer of the Genetic Code. “That’s awful!” he thought. “It’s wrong—it’s really and truly wrong!” Nirenberg himself, along with two other scientists, had received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1968 “for their interpretation of the genetic code and its function in protein synthesis,” and neither of his co-winners happened to be named Crick. (They were in fact Robert W. Holley and Har Gobind Khorana.) The incident was testimony to the inconstancy of fame. And it was by no means an isolated example, as Nirenberg knew from the long and bitter experience of seeing similar misattributions elsewhere. The breaking of the genetic code was one of the most important advances in molecular biology, secondary only to the discovery of the double-helical structure of DNA in 1953 by Crick and James D. Watson. But whereas they are household names, Marshall Nirenberg certainly is not. Nirenberg, 80, is now a laboratory chief at the National Institutes of Health, where he has spent his entire career. His otherwise standard-issue science office is distinguished by framed copies of his lab notebooks tabulating the results of his genetic code work.

ROBERT LEHMAN Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir 2010 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON, D.C. Photo courtesty of Staford University Visual Arts. ARTHUR KORNBERG March 3, 1918–October 26, 2007 BY I . ROBERT LEHMAN ITH THE DEATH OF ARTHUR KORNBERG on October 26, W2007, one of the giants of 20th-century biochemistry was lost. Arthur Kornberg was born in Brooklyn, New York, on March , 1918. The son of Joseph and Lena Kornberg, both Eastern European immigrants, he grew up in Brooklyn and attended the City College of New York (CCNY), which was then—and still is—tuition free, and can count several Nobel laureates among its graduates. A precocious student, Korn- berg skipped three years of school and entered CCNY at the age of 15 and graduated at 19 with a B.S. in chemistry and biology. The United States was then deep in the Great Depression, and Kornberg worked to help support the family while in high school and college, first in his parents’ small hardware store and then at a men’s clothing shop. With virtually no jobs to be had for a newly minted graduate of CCNY, Kornberg was fortunate in being accepted in 197 to the University of Rochester School of Medicine, where his ambition was eventually to practice internal medicine. As a sign of the times, of the 200 premedical students in his class at CCNY only five managed to gain acceptance to a medical school.

    Shallow Gene Pool – No Diving! The Study of Cell Reproduction, DNA, and Genetics Grade Level or Special Area: 7th Grade Science Written by: Karen Eubanks, J. T. Hutchinson Junior High, Lubbock, TX Length of Unit: 19 days I. ABSTRACT In this unit, students will be introduced to the two types of cell division and correlate the importance of these processes to genetics. Students will compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis and discuss their relevance to genetics. Each student will also demonstrate a basic understanding of DNA structure and function. Scientists that have greatly contributed to our knowledge of DNA will also be introduced. With classes having an emphasis on forensic science, students will solve a “crime” based on DNA “evidence.” By studying the work of Gregor Mendel, students will show a basic understanding of Mendellian Genetics. II. OVERVIEW A. Concept Objectives 1. Students discover that species can change through generations and that the instructions for traits are contained in the genetic material of the organisms Students know the relationship between structure and function in living systems. (TEK 7.10) 2. Students know the relationship between structure and function in living systems. (TEK 7.9) 3. The student will learn how to use a variety of tools and methods to conduct science inquiry. (TEK 7.2) B. Content from the Core Knowledge Sequence 1. Cell division, the basic process for growth and reproduction p. 176 a. Two types of cell division: mitosis (growth and asexual reproduction), meiosis (sexual reproduction) b. Asexual reproduction: mitosis; diploid cells (as in amoeba) c. Sexual reproduction: meiosis; haploid cells; combinations of traits d.

His namesake and and scientific marvels, including painter Salvador Dali and poet father, Severo Ochoa, was a lawyer-businessman who suffered an Federico García Lorca. There were frequent lectures by Nobel early death of unknown cause. This meant that the young boy, his laureates such as Marie Curie and Albert Einstein during the mother and his six siblings needed to find a new life and home in time Ochoa lived there. After obtaining his medical degree with Málaga, Spain. Although the tragedy and relocation were difficult honours in 1929, Ochoa, at age 24, applied for a fellowship for the family, many believe that this early challenge helped to position at Otto Meyerhof’s laboratory in Berlin, Germany, which spark Ochoa’s independent passion for education and learning. was at the cutting edge of the new discipline of biochemistry.

    List of Nobel laureates 1 List of Nobel laureates The Nobel Prizes (Swedish: Nobelpriset, Norwegian: Nobelprisen) are awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Swedish Academy, the Karolinska Institute, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee to individuals and organizations who make outstanding contributions in the fields of chemistry, physics, literature, peace, and physiology or medicine.[1] They were established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel, which dictates that the awards should be administered by the Nobel Foundation. Another prize, the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, was established in 1968 by the Sveriges Riksbank, the central bank of Sweden, for contributors to the field of economics.[2] Each prize is awarded by a separate committee; the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards the Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, and Economics, the Karolinska Institute awards the Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee awards the Prize in Peace.[3] Each recipient receives a medal, a diploma and a monetary award that has varied throughout the years.[2] In 1901, the recipients of the first Nobel Prizes were given 150,782 SEK, which is equal to 7,731,004 SEK in December 2007. In 2008, the winners were awarded a prize amount of 10,000,000 SEK.[4] The awards are presented in Stockholm in an annual ceremony on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death.[5] As of 2011, 826 individuals and 20 organizations have been awarded a Nobel Prize, including 69 winners of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.[6] Four Nobel laureates were not permitted by their governments to accept the Nobel Prize.
