Quotes

His interest in research was strengthened while an intern at University Hospitals in Cleveland. 'A very fat lady came in,' he said. "She waddled in and she was out of breath, and they put her in bed and thought, well, we will go easy on her, but we will gradually reduce her in weight. 'She died a week later. And at the autopsy they didn't find anything -- except everywhere they looked, she had too much fat and too little protein, really. And so I wondered, 'OK now, what determines the regulation of how much? How do you make protein anyway?' I asked that question. 'How do you make protein?' And I asked the people in medicine at the University Hospitals, 'Who is studying protein synthesis?' And they all shook their heads.' To learn more about molecular biology, in 1939 he took a fellowship at Carlsberg Laboratories in Copenhagen, just as war was spreading in Europe. When the Nazis attacked Denmark, he returned to the United States, taking a post first at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, then a teaching position at Harvard during the war."

...on average, 10 inter-strand crosslinks a day," says Agata Smogorzewska, head of the Laboratory of Genome Maintenance at Rockefeller University. "We suspected that these two proteins directly participated in the repair process. Until now, we knew that they localized to the sites of damage but we had no idea what they were doing there. This work breaks that barrier." The two proteins, called FANCI and FANCD2, are part of the Fanconi anemia pathway, which repairs inter-strand crosslinks...
