Mai in Montr©al Kanada als Kind einer Immigrantenfamilie) ist ein kanadischer Physiker und Biochemiker. Er erhielt zusammen mit Thomas R. Cech 1989 den Chemie- Nobelpreis f¼r die Aufdeckung der katalytischen Eigenschaften von RNA Bearbeiten Leben Sid Altman studierte Physik am Massachusetts Institute of Technology , sp¤ter Biophysik an der University of Colorado , wo er 1967 promoviert wurde. Sp¤ter wurde er Professor an der Yale University , wo er heute lehrt. Seine bahnbrechenden Forschungen zur RNA begannen am Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology von Francis Crick und Sydney Brenner in Cambridge, UK. Bei der Untersuchung der komplizierten Prozessfolge, in der unter Mitwirkung von 6 RNA-Molek¼len die kodierte Information der DNA zur Herstellung der entsprechenden Proteine f¼hrt, entdeckte Altman ein Enzym RNase P , welches die Endst¼cke von einem der intermedi¤ren RNA-Molek¼le abspaltet. Nach 10 Jahren Forschungsarbeit konnte Altman nachweisen, dass das untersuchte Enzym nicht wie ¼blich ein Protein war, sondern eine Kombination eines RNA-St¼cks und eines Proteins. Dabei war das RNA-St¼ck wesentlich f¼r die spezifische katalytische Wirkung. Dies ist deshalb bedeutend, weil das RNA-St¼ck wesentlich einfacher aufgebaut ist als ¼bliche Enzyme. Damit wurde ein ungef¤hrer Weg sichtbar, wie sich Urformen des Lebens aus relativ einfachen Molek¼len gebildet haben k¶nnten.

Nobel Foundation Nobel Media Nobel Museum Nobel Peace Center ... Prize in Economics Sidney Altman The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1989 Autobiography I was born in Montreal in 1939, the second son of poor immigrants. My mother worked in a textile mill and my father in a grocery store before they met and married. It was from them that I learned that hard work in stable surroundings could yield rewards, even if only in infinitesimally small increments. For our immediate family and relatives, Canada was a land of opportunity. However, it was made clear to the first generation of Canadian-born children that the path to opportunity was through education. No sacrifice was too great to forward our education and, fortunately, books and the tradition of study were not unknown in our family. I am conscious of two events that sparked my early interest in science, the first being the appearance of the A-bomb. The mystique associated with the bomb, the role that scientists played in it, and its general importance could not fail to impress even a six-year old. About seven years later I was given a book about the periodic table of the elements. For the first time I saw the elegance of scientific theory and its predictive power. I should mention that while I was growing up, Einstein was presented as a worthy role model for a young boy who was good at his studies. I added various writers of fiction and stars of ice hockey and baseball to my pantheon.

Due to the rotation of disciplines the Laureates will be invited every three years. The 2nd interdisciplinary Meeting was held in 2005. Born in Montreal, Canada, on May 8, 1939. Studied physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, receiving his Bachelor of Science degree in 1960. After two years at Columbia he moved to the University of Colorado Medical Center, from which he received his Ph. D. in Biophysics. Postdoctoral studies at Harvard, then in Cambridge, where he began research which resulted in the discovery of the catalytic properties of RNS, which later earned him the Nobel Prize. Went to the Department of Biology of Yale University in 1971, where he was made professor in 1981. Department head 1983-85, then Dean of Yale College until 1989, when he resumed research as Sterling Professor of Biology. Altman shared the 1989 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with the American Thomas Cech of the University of Colorado, which was awarded to them for having discovered, independently of one another, "that nucleic acids not only carry genetic information but can also act as biocatalysts" - an unexpected discovery which not only changed our basic understanding of life processes at molecular level but also paved the way for developing new forms of defences against viral infections based on genetic engineering.

Altman studied ribonuclease-P, an enzyme that catalyses the depolymerization (decoupling of molecules) of RNA in the formation of transfer RNA ( t RNA). Ribonuclease-P is comprised of RNA and a protein. Altman showed that the RNA component is all that is required to catalyse the formation of t RNA with the protein playing no part in this process. hut(1) write_ads(AdsNum, 0) Page tools Printer friendly Cite / link Email Feedback Sign in Email: Password: Register Charity('US') Mentioned in No references found Hutchinson browser Full browser altiplano altitude (astronomy) altitude (geometry) altitude (height) ...

That course, taught by Cyrus Levinthal, familiarized me with nucleic acids and molecular genetics and prepared me for future encounters with these topics. I spent eighteen months as a graduate student in physics at Columbia University, waiting unhappily for an opportunity to work in a laboratory and wondering if I should continue in physics. Eight months later, having left Columbia, I was studying physics in a summer program and working in Colorado when I decided to enroll as a graduate student in biophysics.
