Person
Heinrich Matthaei
Biochemist who, together with Nirenberg, began deciphering the genetic code in 1961.
German biochemist, born in 1929, who carried out a research stay at the United States National Institutes of Health.
He is recognized for his collaboration with Marshall Nirenberg in 1961 in the experiments that made it possible to assign the first codons to amino acids, an initial step in deciphering the genetic code.
The video mentions him together with Nirenberg as having begun, in 1961, the experimental work with Escherichia coli that led to deciphering the genetic code table.
