Extractions: Kornberg, Arthur US biochemist. In 1956 he discovered the enzyme DNA-polymerase, which enabled molecules of the genetic material DNA to be synthesized for the first time. For this work he shared the 1959 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. By 1967 he had synthesized a biologically active artificial viral DNA. Kornberg was born in New York and studied at the University of Rochester School of Medicine. He held senior appointments at the Washington University School of Medicine (1953) and the Stamford University School of Medicine, Palo Alto, California (1959), before becoming head of the Biochemistry Department at Stamford. In 1957, Kornberg made an artificial DNA, but this turned out to lack genetic activity. He then tried to make a simpler one, the DNA of a virus known as Phi X174, which is single-stranded and in the form of a ring; its activity (infectivity) is lost if the ring is broken. In 1966 he discovered the enzyme needed to close the ring. When the synthetic DNA was added to a culture of bacteria cells, the cells abandoned their normal activity and started to produce Phi X174 viruses.

And then there are the Kornbergs, a father and son who have each been recognized as outstanding leaders in medical science. Entirely on their own accord, each has furthered our understanding of ourselves by scientifically deconstructing what makes us human. Both are pioneers in human genetics. And both Nobel laureate Dr. Arthur Kornberg (the father) and the son, Dr. Roger Kornberg- are in town today for Toronto's own Gairdner Foundation International Awards. The "younger Kornberg," as he is affectionately referred to by his peers gathered here for the Gairdner's annual symposium in medical science, is one of this year's five award winners.

Extractions: OPINION By [Editors note: While best known for his discovery of DNA polymerase and his subsequent synthesis of DNA molecules, Nobel Prize-winning biochemist Arthur Kornberg considers himself first and foremost a researcher of enzymes. Over the course of his career, which now spans a half-century, he has continued to pursue the study of these catalytics as other biochemist smuch to his chagrinhave chosen to ignore them. Without knowing and respecting enzymes, better still loving them, answers to the most basic questions of growth, development, and disease will remain beyond reach, he has said. Today, at the age of 71, Kornberg continues his enzyme research at Stanford University, where he has been a professor and chairman of the biochemistry department. He also continues to lecture; when contacted by The Scientist at Stanford !ast month, he was about to depart for Seoul, South Korea, where he was to make a presentation to the Congress of the Federation of Asian and Oceanian Biochemists. In the following reminiscence, Kornberg looks back on some of his earliest and most important years as a scientist and his multiple roles of discoverer, teacher, author, and administrator.]

Extractions: News By Neeraja Sankaran For the third time in its 38-year history, the Gairdner Foundation of Willowdale, Ontario, Canada, has selected a scientist who is already a Nobel laureate to receive one of its prestigious International Awards. Traditionally, this award has been considered a "Nobel predictor," with 43 out of 238 honorees having gone on to win the coveted prize. Prior to this year's announcement, Frederick Sanger and H. Gobind Khorana, who won their Nobels in 1958 and 1968, respectively, were the only scientists to receive their Gairdners laterin 1971 and 1980. Joining their ranks this year is Arthur Kornberg, a professor, emeritus, of biochemistry at Stanford University School of Medicine, who won the 1959 Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine. Kornberg has been named as a Gairdner corecipient along with Bruce Alberts, the president of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). Roger Y. Tsien, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator and a professor of cellular and molecular medicine at the University of California, San Diego, also was chosen to receive a 1995 Gairdner. "Dr. Kornberg won his Nobel Prize in 1959, but he has done a lot of important work since then," Gairdner Foundation executive director Verette Pennycook says. "[The foundation] is recognizing him for these later achievements."

Extractions: We have switched the focus of our research from DNA replication to an entirely new subject: inorganic polyphosphate (poly P). Poly P is a linear polymer of many tens or hundreds of orthophosphate (Pi) residues linked by high-energy, phosphoanhydride bonds. Likely a prominent precursor in prebiotic evolution, poly P is now found in volcanic condensates, deep-oceanic steam vents and in every living thing-bacteria, fungi, protozoa, plants and mammals. Ignored in textbooks and dismissed as a "molecular fossil," our mission is to bring this molecule back to life and demonstrate that poly P is truly a "molecule for many reasons." Numerous and varied biological functions are performed by poly P depending on the need and where it is needed-the species, cell, and subcellular compartment. Among these functions are: reservoirs of energy and phosphate, chelation of metals (e.g., Mn2+, Ca2+), buffer against alkali, capsule of bacteria, competence for bacterial transformation, ecological disposal of pollutant phosphate, and, of great interest, physiologic adjustments to growth, development, stress and deprivation. Our approach is to discover the enzymes for the synthesis and utilization of poly P in bacteria, yeast and animal cells. These enzymes will reveal novel mechanisms and insights and when purified will open the route of reverse genetics: the peptide sequence leads to the gene and thereby the means to knock it out and overexpress it. By manipulating expression of the gene and the cellular levels of its product, phenotypes are created which provide clues to metabolic functions. Most immediate and decisive, the enzymes provide unique and invaluable reagents for analytic and preparative work.

Extractions: Paul Berg has made a lifelong commitment to science and to instilling his enthusiasm for research in his students. Berg, who is Cahill Professor of Cancer Research at Stanford University School of Medicine and Director of the Beckman Center for Molecular and Genetic Medicine, is renowned for his research that led to the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1980. Having now served as ASCB Public Policy Chair for two years, Berg noted that "being the Chair of the ASCB Public Policy Committee is a great deal easier than some, because the staff does such a good job of seeing that it runs smoothly. I am pleased to be part of the ASCB Public Policy Committee’s great traditions. They are such a great bunch of people." Berg is keenly aware of the necessity to ensure adequate funding for biomedical research and is continuously pleased with the support key Congress people have given for basic biomedical research. Despite Berg’s continued tireless work in his lab and in public policy, he does take time out to have fun. He likes to play tennis with Stanford friends—his back permitting. Pfeffer, a player herself, concedes of her elder colleague that "he plays a terrific game of tennis." Berg also enjoys collecting contemporary American sculpture and paintings. He and his wife of 50 years, Millie, have one son, John, whose profession is in music and graphic design. What is most clear from talking to Paul Berg is that he loves where he lives and what he does. He says he has lived at Stanford for over 35 years because, "it is the greatest place to live and Stanford is one of the best universities in the world." He also notes loyally that Stanford fits his personality and interest in young people because, "it is a school that promotes experimentation in education, research, and lifestyles."

Extractions: The University of South Alabama College of Medicine will host a Distinguished Scientist Seminar presented by Nobel Laureate Arthur Kornberg, M.D., on April 12 at 4 p.m. in the Medical Sciences Building Auditorium at USA Main Campus. His lecture is entitled, Biotechnology: Impact on Science, Medicine and Industry. Dr. Kornberg was invited to speak at the medical college by the USA Basic Medical Sciences Student Organization (BMSSO). We are extremely fortunate to have Dr. Kornberg come to Mobile and share his vast experiences with us, said Cathy Webb, president of BMSSO. His work and his dedication to the search for answers to scientific questions is a strong motivator for students beginning their research careers. In 1959, Dr. Kornberg shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Dr. Severo Ochoa for their discovery of mechanisms in the biological synthesis of RNA and DNA. This breakthrough research answered basic biological questions, and today serves as the basis for new scientific discoveries in medicine. Dr. Kornberg has devoted his life to research in biochemistry, particularly enzymes. First at NIH and then at the University of Washington and Stanford University, he spent decades isolating and purifying the enzymes that form the basis of cells. In fact his autobiography is titled

Extractions: Reception to Follow From his early studies of the mechanisms of the enzymatic synthesis of coenzymes and inorganic pyrophosphate, he extended his interest to the biosynthesis of the nucleic acids, particularly DNA. After elucidating key steps in the pathways of pyrimidine and purine nucleotide synthesis, including the discovery of PRPP as an intermediate, he found the enzyme that assembles the building blocks into DNA, named DNA polymerase. This ubiquitious class of enzymes make genetically precise DNA and are essential in the replication, repair and rearrangements of DNA. Many other enzymes of DNA metabolism were discovered responsible for the start and elongation of DNA chains and chromosomes. These enzymes were the basis of discovery of recombinant DNA which helped ignite the biotechnology revolution.
