	Arthur Kornberg
		Arthur Kornberg was born on March 3, 1918, in New York City.
		Kornberg has an elevated level of bilirubin in his blood—a mild jaundice known as Gilbert's syndrome—and while at medical school he took a survey of fellow students to discover how common the condition was.
		Kornberg was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1959 for his “discovery of the mechanisms in the biological synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid” together with Severo Ochoa at New York University.

		Kornberg's research, and latest award, is a family affair: his father Arthur Kornberg, PhD, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1959 for studies of how genetic information is transferred from one DNA molecule to another.
		Arthur Kornberg said he had not imagined decades ago, when his son first began his career as a biochemist, that there would be a second Nobel laureate in the family.
		Kornberg is an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and an honorary member of the Japanese Biochemical Society.

	Bloomberg.com: U.S.
		Kornberg, the son of 1959 medicine laureate Arthur Kornberg, will receive this year's 10 million-kronor ($1.37 million) award for explaining a process called transcription, the Stockholm- based Nobel Foundation said today in a statement on its Web site.
		Roger Kornberg's talent was evident from a young age and, as an 8-year-old, his Christmas wish was ``a week in the lab,'' said his father, who also taught at the university.
		While Arthur Kornberg won his award for showing how genetic information is transferred from one DNA molecule to another, the younger Kornberg got his for describing how the information is copied from DNA into another genetic molecule known as RNA.

		JEFFREY BROWN: For the Kornbergs, it's all in the genes.
		JEFFREY BROWN: Well, Arthur, you told a reporter today that, when Roger was 8 or 9, you and your wife asked him what he wanted for Christmas, and he said a week in the lab.
		ROGER KORNBERG: I think that we so rarely have the opportunity nowadays, with the news that we all hear and read on a regular basis, to celebrate intellectual activity, to celebrate the rewards of study and achievement in science and in the university, in other aspects.

	Chemical & Engineering News: Latest News - Another Kornberg Nabs A Nobel
		Roger D. Kornberg, a structural biologist at Stanford University, has been awarded the 2006 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his studies on the molecular basis of eukaryotic transcription, the process by which the genetic code of DNA is converted into messenger RNA for later translation into proteins.
		Arthur Kornberg, a biochemist at Stanford, received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1959 for his work on DNA replication.
		This observation led Kornberg to discover a protein complex known as Mediator, which serves to transfer signals from gene-specific transcription factors to RNA polymerase II and the general transcription factors.

		This enabled Kornberg to pursue his first research project (on jaundice), and allowed him to be appointed to an internship in medicine, and then to an assistant residency, which would groom him for a career in academic medicine.
		In 1959, Kornberg along with Ochoa shared the Nobel Prize for their “discovery of the mechanisms in the biological synthesis of ribonucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid.” His work established the basic mechanism of all DNA polymerases in nature and the capacity of these polymerases to make genetically active DNA in the test tube.
		Arthur Kornberg is an expert in DNA replication, and in particular DNA polymerases.

	1956 - Arthur Kornberg
		Kornberg and associates were able to reproduce the conditions necessary for DNA replication in a test tube.
		Kornberg used DNA polymerase to verify one of the essential elements of the Watson-Crick model of DNA structure: DNA is always polymerized in the 5´ to 3´ direction (H-CH2 sugar phosphate bonds to H-O sugar phosphate bond; new nucleotides are added at the 3´ end).
		Kornberg did find that 32P nucleotides were released from the new DNA by 3´ specific phosphodiesterases, and thus concluded that the enzyme that he had isolated polymerized DNA proceeding in the 5´ to 3´ direction....

	Arthur Kornberg Biography \| World of Anatomy and Physiology
		Kornberg was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Joseph Kornberg and Lena Katz.
		At Stanford, Kornberg's group succeeded in purifying DNA polymerase of contaminating enzymes, but the complexity of their DNA template remained an obstacle, until Robert L. Sinsheimer of the California Institute of Technology was able to direct them to a simpler one.
		Kornberg and Goulian announced their success during a press conference on December 14, 1967, pointing out that the achievement would help in future studies of genetics, as well as in the search for cures to hereditary diseases and the control of viral infections.

	U.S.'s Kornberg wins Nobel, follows laureate father - Boston.com
		American Roger Kornberg, the son of a Nobel laureate, won the 2006 Nobel chemistry prize on Wednesday for showing how genes are copied, a process essential to how cells develop and to life itself.
		Kornberg's discovery showed how deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, which is in essence a silent map, is "read" by RNA and converted into an actual protein within a cell.
		Kornberg used a process called X-ray crystallography -- where molecules in a chemical reaction are "frozen" into crystals and photographed using X-rays -- to capture transcription in action and in incredible detail.
