Life Abidy
In studying the synthesis of bacterial TRNA, RNA found RNA has catalytic effect, for this, in 1989, the Nobel Chemical Award was obtained in 1989.
"If you can correct your research work immediately according to the results you just published, then you may get the Nobel Prize."
know the name of Dr. Ortham It is much more early than Dr. Cech. After studying abroad for the first time, I have heard of his name after the study of the bridge.
He is born in Canada, Colorado University graduated, 1971 discovered an enzyme-ribonucleic acid enzyme P that could be cut off TRNA (transfer ribonucleic acid) precursor. At first he believes that the cutting activity to show ribonuclease P in vivo is the ingredients of the RNA (ribonucleic acid) and protein components.
One day, he heard that the cataract of the RRNA (nuclear protein nucleic acid) of Tetomymid depends on the catalytic effect of rRNA itself into a ripest, and immediately updated its ribonucleic acid. The function of the RNA component of the enzyme P and the function of the protein component. He thought that TRNA and RRNA differed, but both were catalyzed by enzyme to become mature from RNA precursors.
, he found that the ribonuclease P cut the precursor TRNA at the correct position in the RNA component, and this cut-off activity is not in the protein component.
Cuthel rRNA is cut off itself, then self-catalysis within the molecules of stitching, it is not absolutely unprepared. The ribonucleic acid enzyme P catalyzed is not ourselves, but the TRNA catalyzes other molecules, which should be mature, so it should be considered to be enzyme. He issued a paper with an enzyme-catalytic effect of RNA.
After this, he has further identified, not only TRNA, RRNA, but mRNA is also a ripening RNA by RNA. In 1989, he won the Nobel Chemical Award with Chero.
In fact, Oltman has separated the enzyme that is likely to win award-winning RNA in 1971, just even herself, no one realize this. If compared with the discovery of Cuthe, the discovery of Cuthene can even be discovered. Like Mendel, such as a scientist, although there is a major discovery but that is not aware of society, there is a reappearing phenomenon in the future. However, there is no importance of this kind of person, and it is very small to re-discovery from the work of others in the future.
Take the research results of others as a transcript, re-examine your research results, dust, and won the Nobel Prize.
