Arthur Kornberg was een Amerikaanse biochemicus wiens baanbrekende onderzoek de moleculaire mechanismen van het leven verhelderde. Zijn werk richtte zich op enzymchemie en ontdekkingen in de synthese van desoxyribonucleïnezuur (DNA). Kornbergs bevindingen hebben het begrip van DNA-replicatie en de processen van erfelijkheid aanzienlijk vergroot. Zijn wetenschappelijke bijdragen hebben de moderne moleculaire biologie en genetica gevormd.





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.
