1983 Nobel Prize Winner Paul Berg

Biochemistry and recombination of nucleic acids Introduction In the following article we outline the biochemistry research of nucleic acids and recombinant DNA by Paul Berg who won the Nobel prize in 1983. The reason why I chose Paul Burger as my Nobel laureate was that his discovery gave him the biochemical Nobel Prize. When he won the Biochemical Award, his research will cover biology and chemistry, which will help me complete my two NCUK courses. In this article, debates on the biography, research, and scientific composition of Berg behind his victory will be discussed.

1980: Paul Berg, Walter Gilbert, Frederick Sanger developed a mapping method of DNA structure. In 1972, recombinant DNA molecules were produced at Stanford University Laboratory at Paul Berg. Berg received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1980 by constructing a recombinant DNA molecule containing the bacteriophage lambda gene inserted into small circular DNA. 1980: Stanley Norman Cohen and Herbert Boyer cloned the plasmid, demonstrated the results of "unicellular protein in vitro" by expressing foreign genes in bacteria and obtained the first gene cloning patent in the United States. Two scientists can replicate proteins such as HGH, erythropoietin, insulin. This patent received a license fee of approximately $ 300 million to Stanford University.

At the conference, ethicists like Greeley, biochemists at Stanford and Nobel laureate Paul Burg are known for organizing the Asilomatic conference and are a historic 1975 forum for biology . Scientists have reached an agreement on how to safely reorganize DNA. A method of joining DNA to bacteria was discovered. Should there be Asilomar for germline engineering? Doudna thinks like that, but the consensus prospect seems to be dark. Biotechnology research is now underway worldwide, with hundreds of thousands of people involved. A single authority can not represent science, and there is no easy way to put a sprite back into a bottle. If an American scientist agrees to disrupt human germline engineering, she wants that she can stop influencing researchers in other parts of the world by stopping their work Doudna told me.

The Nobel Prize is often regarded as the highest honor in the scientific community (Einstein was awarded), the process of determining winners is strict and confidential. Every year, the Nobel Committee invites candidates' recommendation for "competent and capable people" - past winners, scientists, and professors from all over the world. After all, the Nobel Conference of the Karolinska Institute was in charge of electing the Nobel Prize winner in physiology or medicine, and those related to nomination and their deliberations were sealed for 50 years. For details of the selection process, please refer to the 7th series "Chemical World", "Closed door: How to win the Nobel prize".
