Hargovind Khurana

Hargovind Khurana (born January 9, 1922, died 9 November 2011) was a Nobel Prize awarded Indian scientist. Biography

He was born in undivided India's Raipur (District Multan, Punjab) town. These were the smallest of the four sons of Patwari's father. Due to being a talented student, he got scholarships in school and college. In the year 1943 B, from the University of Punjab. S.C. (Honors) and in 1945, MSc He passed his (Hons) examinations and went to England after receiving a scholarship from the Government of India. Here Professor A. Liverpool University. After doing research under Robertson, he earned a doctorate degree. He then got a discovery from the Indian government and went into exploration with Prof. V. Pralog in the Federal Institute of Technology of Zurich (Switzerland).

Coming back to India, Dr. Khurana did not find any work worthy of her. Harare went to England, where membership in Cambridge University and the opportunity to work with Lord Tad. In 1952, you were appointed Chairman of the Biochemistry Department of the British Columbia Research Council of the vacant (Canada). In 1960, he found the post of professor in the Institute of Science Research at the University of Wisconsin, USA, and is now the Director of this Institute. Here he accepted the American citizenship.

Doctor Khurana engaged in the study of chemical composition of biocytes of nuclei. In relation to nuclei nucleic acids, the search has been going on for a long time, but it was possible by the special methods of Dr. Khurana. The topic of their study is the complex, original, chemical structures of subclasses called nucleotid. Dr. Khurana succeeded in making these groups of compounds called nucleotrified enzyme of two classes of importance.

Nuclear acids are made from thousands of single nucleotides. Genetic properties of bio-cytos depend on the structure of these complex multi-nucleotides. Dr Khurana had succeeded in the addition of eleven nucleotides, and now he succeeds in synthesis of nucleic acids of the nucleotide nucleotides. With this success it has been possible to understand the structure and structure of genetic properties of amino acids, and scientists will now be able to find the cause of genetic diseases and the remedy for removing them.

For this important discovery of Dr. Khurana, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1968 with the other two American scientists. You had previously received the Merck Award from the Chemical Institute of Canada in 1958 and this year you were appointed Speaker (visiting) professor at the Rockefeller Institute in New York. In 1959, he was elected a member of the Chemical Institute of Canada, and in the International Council of Biochemicals to be held in 1967, you inaugurated the inaugural speech. With Dr. Nirenberg, you also got the Lucia Grotz Horwitz Award worth $ 5,000,000 in 1968.
