	Sidney Altman Summary
		Altman was able to prove that the M1 RNA demonstrated all the classical properties of a catalyst, especially as, unlike that studied by Cech, it remained unchanged by the reaction.
		Altman moved to the University of Colorado in Boulder in late 1962 to work as a research assistant, where he was mainly preoccupied with studying the replication of the T4 bacteriophage, a substance that infects bacterial cells in much the same way as a virus infects human cells.
		Sidney Altman (born May 7, 1939) is a Canadian-born molecular biologist, who is currently the Sterling Professor of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and Chemistry at Yale University.

	Sidney Altman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sidney Altman received his work for discovering the catalytic properties of the ribozyme RNase P.
		Originally, it was believed that in the bacterial RNase P complex the protein subunit was responsible for the catalytic activity of the complex, which is involved in the maturation of pre-tRNAs.
		During experiments in which the complex was reconstituted in test tubes, Sidney Altman and his group discovered that the RNA molecule alone was sufficient for the observed catalytic activity, meaning that the RNA itself had catalytic properties, which was the discovery that earned him the Nobel prize.

	Robert Altman
		Altman's art-cinema narration systematically displays an open and poetic mode of storytelling; a continuing perception of social identity as fragile, fractured, and fragmentary; and a critical self-consciousness about the nature of narrative communication itself.
		Altman's films may be best understood in terms of three particular aspects of art-cinema narration: its interrogation of classical Hollywood storytelling and popular genres, its representation of debilitated and ineffectual social individuality, and its reflexive analysis of the entertainment industry as complicit in cultural alienation.
		Altman has consistently expressed his hostility to narrative causality and closure, and his films dramatically display an antipathy to straightforward, clearly delineated, and causally logical narratives.

		New Haven, Conn. -- Sidney Altman, Sterling Professor of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology at Yale University has been awarded a three-year, Focused Giving Grant by Johnson & Johnson to support his work on coordinated regulation of the protein subunits of RNase P in HeLa Cells.
		Professor Altman received the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1989 for his work on RNaseP demonstrating that RNA as well as protein can have catalytic properties.
		With this grant Altman's group will pursue the basis of their observation that directly inhibiting expression of one of the protein subunits (Rpp38) in human nuclear RNase P turned off the expression of some, but not all, subunits without further cell manipulation.

		The author of the article is Sidney Altman, Ph.D, Sterling Professor of Biology at Yale University, who received the 1989 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery that RNA is not just a passive carrier of genetic code, but also can be an enzyme that actively engages in chemical reactions.
		The EGS technology is based on that discovery and is being further developed by Innovir.
