Linda Brown Buck (born January 29, 1947) is an American biologist best known for her work on the olfactory system. [3] She was awarded the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine , along with Richard Axel , for their work on olfactory receptors.
Richard Axel is a distinguished molecular biologist and neuroscientist. He developed gene transfer techniques that permit the introduction of virtually any gene into any cell permitting the production of a large number of clinically important proteins and leading to the isolation of a gene for CD4, the cellular receptor for the AIDS virus, HIV.
1996 Richard Axel, Linda B. Buck and A. James Hudspeth, for establishing the molecular basis of the senses of smell and hearing; 1995 Thomas D. Pollard and James A. Spudich, for their fundamental contributions to our understanding of molecular motors; 1994 Robert G. Roeder and Robert Tjian, for their outstanding work on eukaryotic transcription ...
A 1996 paper by Luca Turin revived the theory by proposing a mechanism, speculating that the G-protein-coupled receptors discovered by Linda Buck and Richard Axel were actually measuring molecular vibrations using inelastic electron tunneling as Turin claimed, rather than responding to molecular keys fitting molecular locks, working by shape alone.
