...Marshall Nirenberg identifies the first of 64 three-letter genetic codes for proteins...
...start over interviewing with other NIH researchers and, although he knew little about genetics, he impressed future Nobel Prize winning geneticist Marshall Nirenberg so much that Bernfield became a postdoctoral fellow in Niremberg?...
...which is laboring under an $8.4 billion debt, indicated in March that it would be willing to entertain bids for some of its magazine properties -- Mirabella included. The news has caused little disturbance at Mirabella. "It would have no effect on my business or my people," says Julie Lewit-Nirenberg, the magazine's publisher. "I'm very sanguine...
Other members of the delegation to the White House were Marshall W. Nirenberg, professor of genetics and biochemistry at the National Institutes of Health; Victor F. Weisskopf, professor of physics at MIT; and the Papal Nuncio, Archbishop Pio Laghi...
Using this clue as their Rosetta stone, Nirenberg and other researchers eventually found one or more three-letter code words, or codons, that could call up every single amino acid?plus other words that acted as punctuation, marking the start or completion of a message ordering the production of a protein. Even more remarkable, they learned that the code was universal: the same four letters, taken three at a time to form a single genetic word, code the same amino acids in all living things. Thus by the mid-1960s, scientists finally understood how DNA passes on genetic information with...
