(contributed by Vijay Varma) The pace of progress in molecular biology is such that the 60s are now considered a classical period in the history of this rapidly changing and growing field. One of the principal scientists of this era is Dr. Har Gobind Khorana. He shared the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology in 1968 with Marshall Nirenberg and Robert Holley for cracking the genetic code. (The Nobel lecture was delivered on December 12, 1968) They established that this mother of all codes, the biological language common to all living organisms, is spelled out in three-letter words: each set of three nucleotides codes for a specific amino acid. Dr. Khorana is also the first to synthesize oligonucleotides, that is, strings of nucleotides. These custom designed pieces of artificial genes are widely used in biology labs for sequencing, cloning and engineering new plants and animals. The oligonucleotides, thus, have become indispensible tools in biotechnology. Spurred by this demand, Dr. Khorana's invention has become mechanized and commercialized to such an extent that now one can fax a genetic sequence of choice to one of many mail order companies, and the synthetic gene is shipped in return mail.

POLANYI (Chemistry, 1986) John Polanyi who was born in Berlin, Germany in 1929, migrated with his Hungarian parents to England in 1933. He did his university studies at Manchester University, earning his Ph.D. in 1952, the same year in which he came to Canada. He worked as a post-doctoral fellow at the National Research Council Laboratories in Ottawa from 1952-1954, and as a research associate at Princeton University from 1954-1956. In 1956 he joined the faculty of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Toronto where he has remained every since. His research involved the development of a new field of research in chemistry-reaction dynamics-providing a much more detailed understanding of how chemical reactions take place. For this work, he shared the 1986 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. His ongoing research has earned him many other awards and honours, including, the Royal Medal of the Royal Society, and some thirty honorary degrees from six countries. Dr. Polanyi has served on the Prime Minister of Canada's Advisory Board on Science and Technology, and the Premier's Council of Ontario. An advocate of international human rights, he was a founding member of the Committee on Scholarly Freedom of the Royal Society, and the Canadian Committee for Scientists and Scholars, and the founding Chairman of the Canadian Pugwash Group in 1960. Dr. Polanyi has written extensively on science policy, the control of armaments, and peacekeeping.

MADRID 22 DE JUNIO DE 2000 Programa Har Gobind Khorana (Raipur - India, 1922) recibió el Premio Nobel de Medicina en 1968, junto a RobertW. Holley y Marshall W. Niremberg, por su interpretación del código genético y su función en la síntesis de las proteínas. Graduado por la Universidad de Punjab, y gracias a una beca del Gobierno de la India, se trasladó a Inglaterra, obteniendo su Doctorado en la Universidad de Liverpool. Durante un año realizó estudios postdoctorales en la Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule de Zurich, trabajando con el Prof. Vladimir Prelog. Posteriormente estuvo en Cambridge de 1950 a 1952, trabajando con el Dr. G. W. Kenner y el Prof. A.R. Todd. La influencia de estas tres personas fue crucial en la evolución de su pensamiento y su filosofía sobre la ciencia así como en su interés sobre las proteínas y los ácidos nucléicos. En 1952 recibió una oferta de la British columbia que le llevó a Vancouver hasta 1960, año en el que se trasladó al Instituto de Investigación Enzimática de la Universidad de Wisconsin y adquirió la nacionalidad americana.

He received an M. Sc. degree from Punjab University in Lahore and stayed in India until 1945, when he received a fellowship to study for his Ph. D. degree at the University of Liverpool . After completing a postdoctoral year in Zurich , Khorana returned to England where he conducted research on nucleic acids at the University of Cambridge under Sir Alexander Todd and Dr. G. W. Kenner. From there, he moved to the laboratory of Dr. Gordon M. Shrum in Vancouver , BC , where he initiated his studies on the synthesis of phosphate esters. In 1960, Khorana joined the University of Wisconsin as Professor of Biochemistry and Co-Director of the Institute of Enzyme Research . He developed the use of carbodiimides as synthetic reagents, which proved invaluable in the synthesis of nucleotides, nucleotide coenzymes, nucleic acids and polypeptides. Using multidisiplinary approaches, he contributed to the elucidation of the genetic code and later synthesized the gene for alanine tRNA. In 1968, he received, together with Robert Holley and Marshall Nirenberg, the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for “Interpretation of the Genetic Code and Its Function in Protein Synthesis.”

It was like discovering that a car is made of steel and uses petrol – it didn’t tell us anything about how the motor actually worked.

Born in Blackpool, England on April 26, 1932, Michael Smith struggled through hard times when he was a young child to become the successful scientist he is today. When he was seven years old, the Second World War began, causing great hardships in England. At eleven years of age, he received a scholarship that allowed him to continue his education up to the university level. He found school difficult, and many of his happiest times during his school years were spent with the Boy Scouts, an organization he is still involved with today. He attended Manchester University in Manchester, England where he took both an honours degree and his Ph.D. in Chemistry. After finishing those degrees, he wanted to go to North America to study more. He moved to Vancouver B.C. where he found his mentor Har Gobind Khorana. Gobind Khorana was a molecular biologist studying molecules that are important to research into genetics . It was in Gobind Khorana's lab that Michael Smith began learning the chemistry that would form the basis of his future research. Michael Smith was especially happy in Vancouver because of the natural, unspoiled beauty of the land in British Columbia. After completing his education, Michael Smith worked at the Fisheries Research Board of Canada Laboratory. Though the work he was doing there was not related to genetics, Michael Smith continued his research into that subject on the side. In 1966 he became a professor of biochemistry at the University of British Columbia. Undoubtedly, his greatest accomplishment in the field of chemistry came in 1993 when he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering a process called site-directed mutagenesis. This is very important for molecular biology; it is a process for making a
