15 magg 1960 anni - Genetic Code Cracked!!

Descrizione:

Over the course of several years, Marshall Nirenberg, Har Khorana and Severo Ochoa and their colleagues elucidated the genetic code - showing how nucleic acids with their 4-letter alphabet determine the order of the 20 kinds of amino acids in proteins. This experiment also deciphered the 64 triplet codons in the genetic code by using nucleic acid homopolymers to translate specific amino acids.
