  2. Central dogma of molecular biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_dogma_of_molecular...

    A second version of the central dogma is popular but incorrect. This is the simplistic DNA → RNA → protein pathway published by James Watson in the first edition of The Molecular Biology of the Gene (1965). Watson's version differs from Crick's because Watson describes a two-step (DNA → RNA and RNA → protein) process as the central ...

  3. Adaptor hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptor_hypothesis

    It was formulated by Francis Crick in 1955 in an informal publication of the RNA Tie Club, and later elaborated in 1957 along with the central dogma of molecular biology and the sequence hypothesis. It was formally published as an article "On protein synthesis" in 1958. The name "adaptor hypothesis" was given by Sydney Brenner.

  4. Molecular biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_biology

    Much of molecular biology is quantitative, and recently a significant amount of work has been done using computer science techniques such as bioinformatics and computational biology. Molecular genetics , the study of gene structure and function, has been among the most prominent sub-fields of molecular biology since the early 2000s.

  5. Protein production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_production

    Central dogma depicting transcription from DNA code to RNA code to the proteins in the second step covering the production of protein. Protein production is the biotechnological process of generating a specific protein. It is typically achieved by the manipulation of gene expression in an organism such that it expresses large amounts of a ...

  6. Crick, Brenner et al. experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crick,_Brenner_et_al...

    The Crick, Brenner et al. experiment (1961) was a scientific experiment performed by Francis Crick, Sydney Brenner, Leslie Barnett and R.J. Watts-Tobin. It was a key experiment in the development of what is now known as molecular biology and led to a publication entitled "The General Nature of the Genetic Code for Proteins" and according to the historian of Science Horace Judson is "regarded ...

  7. Francis Crick - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Crick

    Crick was an important theoretical molecular biologist and played a crucial role in research related to revealing the helical structure of DNA. He is widely known for the use of the term "central dogma" to summarise the idea that once information is transferred from nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) to proteins, it cannot flow back to nucleic acids ...

  8. Frederick Sanger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Sanger

    Frederick Sanger OM CH CBE FRS FAA (/ ˈ s æ ŋ ər /; 13 August 1918 – 19 November 2013) was a British biochemist who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry twice.. He won the 1958 Chemistry Prize for determining the amino acid sequence of insulin and numerous other proteins, demonstrating in the process that each had a unique, definite structure; this was a foundational discovery for the ...

  9. Sequence hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_hypothesis

    The sequence hypothesis was first formally proposed in the review "On Protein Synthesis" by Francis Crick in 1958. [1] It states that the sequence of bases in the genetic material (DNA or RNA) determines the sequence of amino acids for which that segment of nucleic acid codes, and this amino acid sequence determines the three-dimensional structure into which the protein folds.
