	François Jacob - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		François Jacob (born June 17, 1920 in Nancy, France) is a French biologist, who together with Jacques Monod, originated the idea that control of enzyme levels in all cells happens through feedback on transcription.
		In around 1961 Jacob and Monod explored the idea that the control of enzyme expression levels in cells is a result of feedback on the transcription of DNA sequences.
		Jacob and Monod somewhat recklessly extended this repressor model to all genes in all organisms, in their initial exuberance.

		In 1961 Jacob and his Pasteur Institute colleague Monod described the operon model of gene regulation in one of the milestone papers of molecular biology.
		Jacob and Monod saw in their model an explanation for why some cancers caused by viruses are activated after being dormant in the body.
		Jacob and French bacteriologist Elie Wollman, also of the Pasteur Institute, showed that genetic recombination and replication occur in a similar manner in both bacteria and in humans.

		Jacob was born in Nancy, France, to Simon Jacob, a merchant, and the former Thérèse Franck.
		Jacob continued his education at the University of Paris during his first years at the Pasteur Institute, earning his bachelor of science in 1951 and studying toward his doctor of science degree, which he received in 1954.
		In the experiments conducted by Jacob and Monod, the inducer, lactose, served to inhibit the gene that was regulating the synthesis of galactosidase.

	Francois Jacob
		Francois Jacob was born in Nancy, France on June 17, 1920.
		In 1965, Jacob received the Nobel Prize for Medicine, along with Jacques Monod and André Lwoff, for their research on the idea that control of enzyme levels in all cells happens through feedback on transcription.
		Jacob and Monod made key experimental and theoretical discoveries that demonstrated that in the case of the lactose system outlined above (in the bacterium E. coli), there are specific proteins that are devoted to repressing the transcription of the DNA to its product (RNA, which in turn is decoded into protein).

		Laban would not consent to give him his daughter in marriage till he had served seven years; but to Jacob these years "seemed but a few days, for the love he had to her." But when the seven years were expired, Laban craftily deceived Jacob, and gave him his daughter Leah.
		In this mysterious contest Jacob prevailed, and as a memorial of it his name was changed to Israel (wrestler with God); and the place where this occured he called Peniel, "for", said he, "I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved" (32:25-31).
		Jacob was soon after this deeply grieved by the loss of his beloved son Joseph through the jealousy of his brothers (37:33).

	1961 - François Jacob & Jacques Monod & Marshall Nirenberg
		Jacob and Wollman also studied conjugation in bacteria, the process by which genetic material is transferred from one cell to another.
		In 1960 Jacob and Monod proposed the existence of the operon, consisting of an operator gene and structural genes that code for the enzymes needed in a given biosynthetic pathway.
		Jacob and Monod received the 1965 Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine for this research, sharing the award with Lwoff.

		Not many scientists are comfortable quoting poets from Sophocles to Apollinaire, but Jacob weaves their words with his own beautiful prose to inspire the reader with new ways of thinking about science as a part of human life.
		Jacob is one of the few scientists who recognise that science is easily abused, but that its course can't be stopped, or even slowed much.
		Also, Jacob, as a research scientist, understandably seems to feel the need to quote someone to corroborate everything he says, which means that the book quotes nearly everyone who's name is known, and these quotations lack relevance and insight most of the time.

		François Jacob and Jacques Monod shared the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1965 for their work on the regulator sequences in genes.
		Jacob’s text, a collection of seven lectures, is itself a combinatorial mosaic and models the very processes that he describes.
		Jacob’s view implies that traditional biologists must retool their thinking; these newer ideas also give some of us outside of biology a chance to get in the door.

		Jacob has written an autobiography that is not only literate but positively literary, shot through with reminiscences of classical French authors, skillfully plotted and elegantly written.
		Jacob's narrative, translated by Franklin Philip, is wholly accessible to the reader whose biology is at most a vague memory from high school.
		Jacob so often had the good fortune to be in the right place at the right time - and the intelligence and courage to make the right choices, even at times when many others were choosing wrong.

		The discovery, for which Jacob and Monod received a Nobel Prize, was "next to the original discovery of the molecular structure of DNA, probably the most important event in the history of molecular biology," Weinberg says.
		These were precisely the properties that Jacob and Jacques Monod sought to assign to the unstable intermediate (which they called X), necessary for the synthesis of galactosidase.

	BookRags: François Jacob Biography
		François Jacob was born in June 1920 in Nancy, Meurthe-et-Moselle, France.
		To explain how the bacteria regulate enzyme production, Jacob (with Andre Lwoff and Jacques Monod) theorized that there are three types of genes, a gene being a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) triplet or triplet cluster.
		An operon is a gene cluster composed of two types of genes: Z (structural) genes, which carry the instructions for protein production, such as for the -galactosidase, and O (operator) genes, which control whether the Z genes' instructions are carried to the cell's ribosomes for protein production.

		For his doctoral dissertation, Jacob reviewed the ability of certain radiations or chemical compounds to induce the prophage, and proposed possible mechanisms of immunity.
		The two scientists also discovered and defined episomes, genetic strains which automatically replicate as part of the development of chromosomes.
		Within two years Jacob began to work with Jacques Monod, who had left Lwoff's lab several years earlier to direct the department of cellular biochemistry at the Pasteur Institute.

	Of Flies, Mice, and Men by François Jacob, Giselle Weiss(Translator), New, Used Books, Cheap Prices, ISBN 0674631110
		Of Flies, Mice, and Men is at once a work of history, a social study of the role of scientists in the modern world, and a cautionary tale of the bumbling and brilliance, imagination and luck, that attend scientific discovery.
		In particular, Jacob scrutinizes the place of the scientist in society.
		And the crucial truth that molecular biology teaches is the one he elaborates with great clarity and grace in this book: that all animals are made of the same building blocks, by a combinatorial system that always rearranges the same elements according to new forms.
