Arthur Kornberg byl americký biochemik, jehož průkopnický výzkum osvětlil molekulární mechanismy života. Jeho práce se zaměřila na enzymovou chemii a objevy v oblasti syntézy deoxyribonukleové kyseliny (DNA). Kornbergovy objevy zásadně přispěly k pochopení replikace DNA a genetických procesů. Jeho vědecký přínos formoval moderní molekulární biologii a genetiku.





This candid narrative by Nobel laureate, Arthur Kornberg, chronicles the saga of a small biotech start-up, the key players, the painstaking development of the perfect product, and the forces affecting its resulting success or failure. Kornberg's razor-sharp wit and provocative opinions make this book a compelling page turner, whether he is decrying the current fashion in scientific funding or delving into the hotly contested PCR patent trial.
The second edition of thes work has been completely revised to reflect current research and interpretations. Arthur Kornberg and his coauthor Tania A. Baker have created a second edition that provides the reader with up-to-date coverage of DNA replicaiton and related cellular processes - including summaries of recent work on replication in eukaryotes and bacteria.
