Useful links Eight of the UK's Nobel Laureates were based at the University of Liverpool at a significant point in their career. Sir Ronald Ross Professor Charles Barkla Sir Charles Sherrington Sir James Chadwick ... Professor Joseph Rotblat In addition, two of the University's scientists were recently awarded what is popularly known as the ' American Nobel Prize in Medicine In 1902, Sir Ronald Ross was the first Briton to be awarded a Nobel Prize for Medicine - for demonstrating that malaria parasites are transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes. At the time, he was a lecturer - and subsequently Professor of Tropical Medicine - in the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. Professor Charles Barkla won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1917 for discovering the electromagnetic properties of X-rays - a discovery of considerable importance since it meant that X-radiation could be regarded as similar to ordinary light. Charles Barkla obtained his excellent grounding in physics at University College, Liverpool, where he studied under Oliver Lodge, gaining a first class honours degree and then a Masters degree in physics.

Extractions: RNA, the close kin and working partner to DNA, provided the key to the code. While DNA resides almost entirely in the cell nucleus, protein synthesis takes place in the cytoplasm, where RNA is found. On molecular workbenches known as ribosomes, sequences of RNA, transcribed from stretches of DNA, serve as instructions for manufacturing proteins. Protein synthesis represents the fundamental work of the genes. Nirenberg's series of key experiments, carried out initially with German scientist Johann Matthaei, employed test-tube techniques. Nirenberg and Matthaei set up a "cell free system" with "sap" from ruptured E. coli cells containing enzymes and an energy system. To this they added simple chains of RNA, comprised of just one of the four RNA bases (uracil, cytosine, adenine, and guanine). They also added amino acids, one of which was radioactively tagged. Har Gobind Khorana, at the University of Wisconsin, adapted Nirenberg's experimental system, and confirmed and extended his work. Nirenberg and Khorana were awarded the 1968 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, shared with Robert W. Holley, "for their interpretation of the genetic code and its function in protein synthesis."

Extractions: By William Bruneau Historical statistics show biography is nearly as popular in the early 2000s as it was a century ago. Academics now think the field respectable and the public find it easier to understand biography than they do works in more abstract fields. Besides, biographers no longer moralize quite so much as they did before 1914. We are more sceptical than our Edwardian forebears. We think heroism, intellectual heroism included, is still possible. But we find it is rarer than it once was. We ask biographers to let readers make their own critical inferences about the effects on subjects' lives of power, social structure, institutional politics, family history and money. Above all, we expect this of the books about "famous" people.(1) In academe, few are so instantly famous as Nobel Prize holders. There are a dozen or so Canadian winners, nearly all in the natural sciences or in economics, some with only moderately close connections to Canada.(2) There are few substantial written discussions of these men, certainly none so thorough as No Ordinary Mike, and this lacuna may be explained by the risks involved in writing argumentatively about scientific "heroes."

Extractions: We work on the molecular mechanisms of visual transduction in the vertebrate photoreceptor cells. Rhodopsin, the dim light receptor, is a prototypic member of the superfamily of the seven-helical surface receptors that couple to the GTP-binding proteins. Rhodopsin contains covalently bound 11-cis-retinal as the inverse agonist. Light activation involves isomerization of 11-cis-retinal to the all-trans form, resulting in a conformational change that initiates two biochemical cascades, one leading to sensitization (amplification) and the other to quenching (desensitization). The system has evolved to sense single photons and at the other extreme, cope with millions of photons in strong light. The biochemistry in the rod cell ultimately causes closing/opening of the cation conductance channels in the plasma membrane. This results in hyperpolarization of the cell, activation of the synapses to the subsequent sets of cells in the retina and, eventually, in a signal to the brain. Experimental approaches in our research are interdisciplinary, including chemical, biochemical, molecular biological and biophysical.
Extractions: Born: 1922 Dr. Hargobind Khorana was born on 9th January 1922 at Raipur, Punjab (now in Pakistan). Dr.Khorana was responsible for producing the first man-made gene in his laboratory in the early seventies. This historic invention won him the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1968 sharing it with M.W. Nuremberg and R.W. Holley for interpreting the genetic code and analyzing its function in protein synthesis. They all independently made contributions to the understanding of the genetic code and how it works in the cell. Apart from the Nobel Prize, Khorana has won many awards and honors for his achievement. Distinguished Service Award, Watumull Foundation, Honolulu, Hawaii (1968); American Academy of Achievement Award, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (1971); Padma Vibushan, Presidential Award, India (1972); J.C.Bose Medal, Bose Institute, Calcutta (1972) and Willard Gibbs medal of the Chicago Section of American Chemical Society (1973-74). He was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences, Washington as well as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 1971 he became a foreign member of USSR Academy of Sciences and in 1974 an Honorary Fellow of the Indian Chemical Society. Khorana's work, which is an important scientific landmark of the twentieth century, has brought closer the day when synthetic DNA may be introduced into the defective human tissues to bring about their repair or treat mentally retarded people and change them into more intelligent and healthy human beings. His synthesis of RNA, capable of replication in laboratory, is a step towards the creation of life artificially. In fact, the researches has opened up a new branch called Genetic Engineering in Science.

Extractions: (contributed by Pranathi Srinivas) Dr. Amartya Sen, author of several titles published by Oxford University Press, has won the 1998 Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. Dr. Sen was born in Shantiniketan in West Bengal, India in 1933. He received his bachelor's degree from Presidency College, Calcutta and a doctorate from the University of Cambridge, UK in 1959. He has been a professor in India, the UK, and the USA and has received numerous awards and honors. In 1998 he left his professorship in economics and philosophy at Harvard University to become Master of Trinity College, Cambridge. He was previously a Professorial Fellow of Nuffield College, Oxford from 1977 to 1980, and the Drummond Professor of Political Economy at All Souls from 1980 to 1987. Professor Amartya Sen has made a number of key contributions to the research on fundamental problems in welfare economics, and opened up new fields of study for subsequent generations of researchers. By combining tools from economics and philosophy, he has restored an ethical dimension to the discussion of vital economic problems. His books on Economic Inequality and Poverty and Famines: An Essay on Entitlement and Deprivation, published by Oxford University Press, were cited in the Nobel Prize report. The prize is worth 7.6 million Swede. Crowns (ca. 963,000 US$). Sen is one of the few sole recipients of the Nobel Prize in a scientific field, which is generally shared.
