Biographical. My adult scientific career began with graduate study in chemical physics with Harden McConnell at Stanford. I had the idea of elucidating the mechanism of ion transport across biological membranes by nuclear resonance. I thought ion transport must involve rotation of the transport protein in the membrane.
Oct 9, 2006 · Roger Kornberg of Stanford University won the Nobel Prize in 2006 for his work on how cells use genetic information to make proteins. He was the first to photograph the DNA transcription process using X-rays, revealing the molecular machinery that reads out the genetic code.
