Extractions: Kary B. Mullis, 1994 in full KARY BANKS MULLIS (b. Dec. 28, 1944, Lenoir, N.C., U.S.), American biochemist, cowinner (with Michael Smith ) of the 1993 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his invention of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a simple technique that allows a specific stretch of DNA to be copied billions of times in a few hours. After receiving a doctorate in biochemistry from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1973, Mullis held research posts at various universities. In 1979 he joined Cetus Corp., a California biotechnology firm, where he carried out his prizewinning research. From 1986 to 1988 he was director of molecular biology for Xytronyx, Inc., in San Diego, Calif.; thereafter he worked as a freelance consultant. PCR has extremely wide applications. In medical diagnostics the technique made it possible to identify the causative agent of a bacterial or viral infection directly from a very small sample of genetic material; it was also used to screen patients for genetic disorders such as sickle cell anemia and Huntington's chorea. Evolutionary biologists employed PCR to study minute amounts of DNA extracted from the fossil remains of ancient species, and forensic scientists used it to identify crime suspects or victims from traces of blood, semen, or strands of hair left at a crime scene. The technique was also an important tool in gene sequencing. BIBLIOGRAPHY.

Kary B. Mullis (born December 28, 1944) kary B. mullis (born December 28, 1944) mullis, considered an intellectual maverick by many, won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1993 for developing PCR http://www.accessexcellence.org/RC/AB/BC/Kary_B_Mullis.html
Extractions: Once in a while in the world of science, there comes an idea or a tool so ingenious that it revolutionizes the way people ask questions. Polymerase chain reaction , better known as PCR, is one of these technologies. It has not only made a tremendous impact on the scientific community, but it has also affected many aspects of our everyday lives. Polymerase chain reaction is a technique that amplifies DNA, enabling scientists to make millions - or even billions - of copies of a DNA molecule in a very short time. PCR has been used to detect DNA sequences, to diagnose genetic diseases, to carry out DNA fingerprinting , to detect bacteria or viruses (particularly the AIDS virus), and to research human evolution. It has even been used to clone the DNA of an Egyptian mummy! Who is the genius behind this revolutionary technology? He is a scientist and surfer from Newport Beach, California, named Kary Mullis. Mullis, considered an "intellectual maverick" by many, won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1993 for developing PCR. A native of South Carolina, he received a bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Georgia Tech and a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from U.C. Berkeley. His Ph.D. thesis was entitled, "Schizokinen: Structure and Synthetic Work," in which he described a molecule involved in bacterial iron transport. While a doctoral candidate, he published and article entitled "The Cosmological Significance of Time Reversal" ( Nature 218 :663(1968)) which deals with his notion that about half of the mass in the universe is going backward in time.

Extractions: Mullis, Kary B. My father Cecil Banks Mullis and mother, formerly Bernice Alberta Barker grew up in rural North Carolina in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. My dad's family had a general store, which I never saw. My grandparents on his side had already died before I started noticing things. My mother's parents were close to me all during my childhood, and her father Albert stopped by to see me in a non-substantial form on his way out of this world in 1986. I was living in California. "Pop" died at 92 and wondering what was happening to me out in California, stopped by Kensington for a couple days. My house afforded a view of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. His visit was an odd experience. Not at all frightening. I have cultivated the curious things in life and found this one pleasant. "Pop" and I sat in the evenings in my kitchen and I told him about the contemporary California world while we drank beer. I drank his for him as it appeared that although he was very much there for me, he was not there at all for the beer. Many of my friends when I told them of this thought it fanciful. (I think it more likely than much of our math today and at least half of our physics, both of which I like). Until I was five my immediate family lived near my grandfather's farm where my mother had grown up, and with the exception of a few modern conveniences, had not changed a lot over the years. My grandfather milked several cows twice a day and supplied the neighbours with dairy products. He liked to go visiting around the county on Saturdays and he also enjoyed the neighbours when they came by once a week with their empty milk jars. He walked them out to their cars and hung over the driver's side window until they drove off. The road was two tire tracks on well mown grass between barbed wire fences, cows off to the right, alfalfa or sometimes corn to the left. I remember mostly the summers.

Extractions: Excerpt(s): At Georgia Tech, I had a wife and a little girl. I had short hair and I studied all the time. My senior year I made perfect grades. I studied physics and math and chemistry to the point where I would never have to study them again. And all I knew about drugs was what I read in magazines like Time and Life . I learned that marijuana was a dangerous addictive drug and that I should stay away from it. On the other hand, I learned that LSD was a miracle that just might enable scientists to understand the workings of the brain, could be the cure for alcoholism, and, just incidentally, might prevent World War III. Psychiatrists were prescribing it for their patients. In 1966 LSD had not yet been made illegal. Respected, well known people were admitting that they had experimented with LSD. The Luce family, the publishers of Time and Life , were so intrigued by the scientific potential of LSD that they funded the research of Harvard professor Timothy Leary.

Extractions: Preventive Medicine: Your Key to a Long and Healthy Life Home Page Newsletters FAQs H-SCAN Physical Age Test ... Our Results American biochemist Dr. Kary B. Mullis (1944- ) won the 1993 Nobel Prize for chemistry for revolutionizing the fields of biology and medicine with his method for producing abundant fragments of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). His Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) enables scientists to create sequences of genetic material in quantities that are large enough to study. PCR has played a major role in the International Human Genome Project which has major health and antiaging implications . The technique has also become invaluable in disease diagnosis, forensic-science analysis in convicting the guilty and freeing the falsely accused, and the study of DNA from ancient or fossil tissues. Mullis shared the Nobel Prize with British-born Canadian biochemist Michael Smith, who was honored for devising a technique to control the formation of proteins. In 1998 Mullis was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in the United States.

Extractions: Richard Seed The inventor of the DNA synthesis process known as the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR . The process is an invaluable tool to today's molecular biologists and biotechnology corporations. Mullis, born in Lenoir, North Carolina, attended the University of Georgia Tech for his undergraduate work in chemistry, and then obtained a Ph. D. in biochemistry from Cal Berkeley. In , working for Cetus Corporation , Mullis developed the Polymerase Chain Reaction, a technique for the rapid synthesis of a DNA sequence. The simple process involved heating a vial containing the DNA fragment to the split the two strands of the DNA molecule, adding oligonucleotide primers to bring about reproduction, and finally using polymerase to replicate the DNA strands. Each cycle doubles the amount of DNA, so multiple cycles increase the amount of DNA exponentially, creating huge numbers of copies of the DNA fragment. Mullis left Cetus in 1986. For his development of PCR, he was co-awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1993. Mullis is currently doing HIV and AIDS research.

He left her when they were living in California in about 1981. He was working for Cetus, making oligonucleotides. One spring night while the California buckeyes were also in flower he came across the polymerase chain reaction. He was driving with Jennifer Barnett to a cabin he had been building in northern California. She and he had worked and lived together for two years. And then early in the Spring of 1997 there was Nancy, whom he married in San Francisco California on March 21, 1998 He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1993 "for his invention of the polymerase chain reaction (PRC) method".
