Marshall Nirenberg (jan 1, 1961 – jan 1, 1961)

Description:

Marshall Nirenberg made a major breakthrough in cracking the genetic code when he conducted an experiment using a synthetic RNA chain made entirely of uracil. This chain instructed a sequence of amino acids to add phenylalanine, helping to reveal how genetic information is translated into proteins.
