Extractions: With the addition of Phillip A. Sharp to its roster of Nobel laureates, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has confirmed its superpower status in academia unquestionably now in biology, and not only in physics, chemistry and economics, where 19 of the past 24 awards have gone. MIT's grand total of two dozen Nobelists including current or former faculty and staff and alumni is one of the highest concentrations of any academic institution in the United States. There are seven Nobel laureates now on the faculty who won the prize while at MIT: Jerome I. Friedman (physics, 1990); Henry W. Kendall (physics, 1990); Robert M. Solow (economics, 1987); Susumu Tonegawa, (medicine/physiology, 1987); Franco Modigliani (economics, 1985); Samuel C.C. Ting (physics, 1976); and Paul A. Samuelson (economics, 1970). Har Gobind Khorana won the Nobel prize in medicine and physiology in 1968 and then came to MIT. David Baltimore won the prize in medicine and physiology in 1975 while at MIT, left the institute for a few years but is now returning.

An Interview With Roald Hoffmann
of collaborations between robert burns woodward (19171979), the organic chemist,and Roald Hoffmann, the theoretical chemist. Both went on to win nobel prizes
http://www.sciencewatch.com/interviews/roald_hoffmann.htm

Extractions: "I love seeing connections," says chemist, poet and Nobel laureate Roald Hoffmann of Cornell University. "I can teach chemists the language of solid-state physics, and maybe teach physicists the inherent value of chemical bonding concepts." Roald Hoffmann is also a literate chemist, as we can see from his recent book Chemistry Imagined: Reflections on Science. This is a joint publication with the artist Vivian Torrence, and combines essays, poems, and articles with a series of collages inspired by chemistry. Torrence has been a visiting scholar at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where Hoffmann is Professor of Physical Science, and her work has been exhibited in art galleries across the United States. Hoffmann's literary achievement shows that chemistry can be a worthwhile, if unexpected, subject for poetry and prose. Hoffmann was born in eastern Poland in 1937, just before that part of his native country was occupied by the Soviet Union in 1939. In 1941 it was overrun by the Nazis, and although he was of Jewish parents, Hoffmann survived the Second World War. He emigrated to the U.S. in 1949, settled in New York, and went to Stuyvesant High School. From there he went to Columbia College and graduated in 1958. His next stop was Harvard, where he was awarded an M.A. in physics in 1960 and a Ph.D. in chemical physics in 1962, working under the supervision of Martin Gouterman and William Lipscomb. His research involved applying the theory of molecular orbitals to polyhedral collections of atoms.

Struktura webu Zárodek celého webu vznikl na konci kolního roku 1998/99, kdy jsem byl ákem 9. tøídy základní koly. Pøipravil jsem si tehdy na výzvu naeho chemikáøe referát o Alfredu Nobelovi (v angliètinì). Ten jsem pak v prváku na gymplu umístil na web a zaèal pøidávat dalí èlánky. Asi po roce pøibyl druhý web, speciálnì o Alfredu Nobelovi, kam jsem zaèal umisovat pøeklady èlánkù ze védských stránek Nobelovy nadace. Po necelých dvou letech jsem se rozhodl zmìnit design i architekturu stránek. Není to proto, e by mi pøipadal tento design hezèí, nýbr proto, e pøedelé stránky byly tvoøeny v programu Microsoft Publisher 2000, co bylo vzhledem k èasové nároènosti a nízké "inteligenci" tohoto programu pomìrnì nevyhovující.

Take pokud se nìkomu nový vzhled stránky nelíbí, musí se s tím smíøit, protoe stránka má èistì informaèní, nikoliv umìlecký charakter. Výhodou je naopak daleko snadnìjí monost aktualizací a jednoduí ovládání, co se doufám brzy projeví na obsahové kvalitì webu. Dalí výhodou je kompletní hypertextové propojení se stránkami o Nobelovi.

http://www.todayinsci.com/4/4_10.htm

Extractions: American biochemist and corecipient, with Robert William Holley and Har Gobind Khorana, of the 1968 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. He was noted for his role in deciphering the genetic code. He demonstrated that, with the exception of "nonsense codons," each possible triplet (called a codon) of four different kinds of nitrogen-containing bases found in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and, in some viruses, in ribonucleic acid (RNA) ultimately causes the incorporation of a specific amino acid into a cell protein. Robert Burns Woodward American chemist best known for his syntheses of complex organic substances, including quinine, the well-known antimalarial (1944), the steroids cholesterol and cortisone (1951), and vitamin B (1971). He also synthesized lanosterol, the famous poison strychnine and reserpine. Several other examples from the chemistry of the alkaloids are lysergic acid, ergonovine, ellipticine, colhicine. In the field of antibiotics Woodward established the structure of aureomycin and terramycin. He has also synthesized chlorophyll, the green plant pigment. He established the structure of many compounds, for instance the peculiar fish poison tetrodotoxin, causing numerous fatalities in Japan. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1965.

Woodward
My second scientist's full name is robert burns woodward. He won the NobelPrize in chemistry in 1965 for his work with natural products.
http://virtual.parkland.edu/lsonnichsen/che203/paragraphs/woodward.htm

Extractions: Robert Burns Woodward took the degrees of Bachelor of Science in 1936 and Doctor of Philosophy in 1937 in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1951, Woodward completed the synthesis of the steroids cholesterol and cortisone and then the related terpene lanosterol in 1954. In 1954, he announced the syntheses of strychnine and lysergic acid, and in 1956, the synthesis of reserpine, which has become a model of elegant technique and has been used for reserpine production, is announced. After that, he completed the synthesis of chlorophyll in 1960, tetracycline in 1962, colchicine in 1963, and cephalosporin C, a product of metabolism of cephalosporium acremonium, in 1965. Woodward won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1965. In 1971, he completed the synthesis of the complicated coenzyme vitamin B which is cyanocobalamin, by a sequence of more than 100 reactions in collaboration with Albert Eschenmoser of the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. This monumental work involved a scale of concerted activity quite unprecedented in any previous synthetic effort in chemistry. The work on vitamin B led to the recognition and formulation, with Roald Hoffmann, of the concept of conservation of orbital symmetry, explicating a broad group of fundamental reactionsprobably the most important theoretical advance of the 1960s in organic chemistry. At the time of his death Woodward was working on the synthesis of erythromycin. Woodward held more than twenty honorary degrees and was awarded a lot of medals. Woodward's work was central to the chemical thought of the times, and his influence on other organic chemists was greater than that of any other.
