Topic: Alfred D Hershey


  
  Dr. Alfred Day Hershey   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Alfred Hershey is a Member of the American Society for Microbiology, the National Academy of Sciences, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Hershey was working on a little-studied organism called bacteriophage with phage researcher J.J. Bronfenbrenner at Washington University in St. Louis when he received a letter from a German scientist at Vanderbilt University, Max Delbruck.
Hershey allowed this to occur, but then at the crucial moment he whirred them in a Waring Blendor, which he had discovered produced just the right shearing force to tear the phage particles from the bacterial walls but not rupturing the bacteria.

 Alfred Day Hershey (www.whonamedit.com)
Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase in 1952 showed DNA to be the carrier of genetic information in virus reproduction, working with T2 phage.
Hershey received a letter from Max Delbrück, who said he had been reading Hershey's papers and was quite interested in a joint effort.
Hershey shared the Nobel Prize in 1969 with Salvador Edward Luria (1912-1991) and Max Ludwig Henning Delbrück (1906-1981), "for their discoveries concerning the replication mechanism and the genetic structure of viruses.

Alfred Russel Wallace publishes "On the Law which has Regulated the Introduction of New Species," anticipating Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection.
Alfred Russel Wallace sends to Darwin a manuscript - "On the Tendency of Varieties to Depart Indefinitely from the Original Type" - that shows clearly that Wallace has independently formulated a model of evolution by natural selection.
A. Hershey and M. Chase demonstrate that the DNA of phage enters the host, whereas most of the protein remains behind.

 Hershey heaven - Nature Structural & Molecular Biology
Hershey, who died in 1997 at the age of 88, is best known as one of the three founders of the 'phage group'.
In 1957 Hershey turned his attention to nucleic acid structure, using chromatography and ultracentrifugation to ascertain the size and shape of viral DNA.
Attention to Hershey as one of the original molecular biologists complicates the story, showing the limitations of views that emphasize a single approach, dogma, or charismatic leader.

 Hershey-Chase experiment definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms
Alfred Hershey (1908-1997) and his assistant Martha Chase (1923-2003) at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory showed that the DNA, not the protein, of the phage virus contains the phage genes.
Alfred D. Hershey won a Nobel Prize for his insights into the nature of viruses in 1969, along with Max Delbrück and Salvador Luria.
In a 1997 memoriam to Hersey, James Watson wrote that "the Hershey-Chase experiment had a much broader impact than most confirmatory announcements and made me ever more certain that finding the three-dimensional structure of DNA was biology's next important objective.

 Blog of Death: Martha Chase
Chase was only in her 20s when she worked with biologist Alfred D. Hershey on the "blender experiments" at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York.
Chase and Hershey used an ordinary kitchen blender to demonstrate that the DNA of a virus, and not its proteins, carried its inherited information.
Hershey won the Nobel Prize in 1969 for proving this theory.

He was the first to discover the phenomenon of virus host restriction in bacteria and this work led to the discovery of "restriction" enzymes which formed the basis of modern recombinant DNA technology.
Their basic research on viruses is regarded as being primarily responsible for modern advances in the control of viral diseases and for advances in molecular biology.
In 1950 Professor Luria lectured in biophysics at the University of Colorado and was a Jessup Lecturer in zoology at Columbia University.
