 George Wells Beadle Biography (1903-1989)
Beadle's innovative research on such diverse living things as corn, fruit flies, and bread mold helped to demystify the activities of genes, making it possible to reduce the inheritance of a particular characteristic to a series of steps needed for the manufacture of biochemicals, notably enzymes.
Beadle was born in Wahoo, Nebraska, on October 22, 1903, to Chauncey Elmer and Hattie Albro Beadle.
Beadle expected that a missing amino acid would have to be supplied to the mold, but found to his surprise the mold was sometimes able to convert a similar compound to the necessary amino acid.

 George Wells Beadle
George Wells Beadle (October 22, 1903 – June 9, 1989) was an American scientist in the field of genetics, and Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine Nobel laureate who with Edward Lawrie Tatum discovered the role of genes in regulating biochemical events within cells.
During the early Cold War, Beadle was outspoken in his defense of colleagues under investigation for suspected Communist ties, and also worked on defining and publicizing the potential dangers of nuclear weapons-related radiation.
Beadle went on to serve as president of the University of Chicago from 1961-1968, helping—through fund-raising and recruitment—to re-establish its reputation as a top research university.

By adding different but similar compounds and seeing if the mold used it, he could unravel the chemical reactions by which the mold synthesized needed chemicals.
Beadle concluded that the characteristic function of the gene was to control the synthesis of a particular enzyme.
For this hypothesis, which he published with Tatum, he shared the 1958 Nobel prize in medicine with Tatum and Lederberg.

 George Beadle
American geneticist George Beadle was raised on a farm, and fully intended to become a farmer himself, even attending the College of Agriculture at the University of Nebraska.
Working with Edward Tatum at Stanford, Beadle studied the bread mold Neurospora crassa, exposing it to x-rays, observing the mutations that resulted, and charting the reactions by which the mold synthesized needed chemicals.
Beadle & Tatum's "one gene, one enzyme" concept -- the notion that a gene specifies a single enzyme, rather than multiple characteristics -- won them the Nobel Prize in 1958.

Beadle and Tatum developed this experiment with the knowledge that the development and functioning of an organism consists of an integrated system of chemical reactions controlled by genes
Beadle and Tatum proposed that the approach in the above experiment offered considerable promise as a method of learning more about how genes regulate development and function.
This term was not coined until 1945, however, as Beadle states in his nobel lecture, this hypothesis was alluded to by Garrod and behind the reasoning of this experiment.
