Extractions: Back to TOC "A Nobel Ambition" Michael Smith In 1993 Michael Smith heard the news that most only dream of. He had won a Nobel Prize for developing a new technique which made genetic research much easier. Working with a team of researchers at the Biotechnology Centre at the University of British Columbia, Smith, a chemist, had invented "site-directed mutagenesis" a technique which allows scientists to make a genetic mutation at any precise spot on the DNA molecule. DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the basic material in a cell that holds all the body's genetic material and transmits hereditary traits. Scientists know that making changes to the DNA or mutating it can change an organism (a form of plant or animal life). Genetically altering plants can make for hardier fruits and vegetables. In humans it means possibly doing away with scourges such as hereditary cancers. Until Smith's discovery, gene mutation was a tedious procedure which involved treating living cells or organisms with chemicals or radiation to observe what types of mutations resulted. "Site-directed mutagensis" means that scientists can chemically produce a mutation and insert it exactly where they want it in the DNA molecule. This DNA is then put into a living thing where it copies itself and where the effect on the organism can be observed. Scientists the world over are finding genetic research easier and more precise because of this technology. Smith's discovery meant scientists could do their work faster and achieve swifter results.

http://www.msfhr.org/sub-about-history-michael.htm

Extractions: Michael Smith was a pre-eminent BC scientist and internationally ranked authority on molecular biology and the use of chemically synthesized DNA fragments in genetic studies. When he died in October 2000, a flood of tributes described a man of many aspects: an inspired scientist, a humanitarian, a humble and generous man who was loved for his humour and gifts as a mentor and friend. Vancouver Sun (Oct 8, A18, editorial) Dr. Michael Smith, who died October 2000, was a bona fide superstar. The molecular biologist was born in Britain and lived and worked in BC for more than 40 years. But he built his reputation on the global stage. As a man of science, his formal contributions were in the area of gene research. For his accomplishments, he was awarded the 1993 Nobel Prize for chemistry and was inducted into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame. He garnered a long list of other honours, including Companion of the Order of Canada, the Order of British Columbia and fellow of the Royal Society of London. This was all sufficient to impress. But as a teacher, ethicist, philanthropist, advocate for research funding and humanitarian causes, Dr. Smith rose above the ivory tower of science. His name and luminous presence at the University of British Columbia lured money and brains to Canadian research. Just as important, he fostered public interest in, and financial support for, research.

http://www.biotech.ubc.ca/faculty/smith.html

Extractions: In 1993, Dr. Michael Smith received the Nobel Prize for his development of the technique of site-directed mutagenesis, a technique which allows the DNA sequence of any gene to be altered in a designated manner. He donated half of the Nobel prize money to researchers working on the genetics of schizophrenia, a widespread mental disorder for which research money is scarce. The other half he gave to Science World BC and to the Society for Canadian Women in Science and Technology. The Royal Bank Award, which he received in 1999, included a companion grant which he promptly donated to the BC Cancer Foundation. Michael Smith was a distinguished and creative scientist, a humble man known for his humanity. He gave generously to the people of Canada and the world, using his time and energy to reach out to audiences with his message about the importance of science to everyone's life. As an advocate for science, Michael Smith was nearly irresistible. Whether he was speaking to audiences of government policy makers or to schoolchildren, people couldn't help but respond to his message. In part, that's because the brilliant research scientist was also a regular guy - a person who knew how to relate to the challenges faced by people outside academia. Dr. Smith was a natural leader who made the journey from humble beginnings to scientific greatness without losing touch with his roots.

At the end of the digging season he was exploring a cave on the Croatian coast. Looking at the back he found the little cracks opened up, and, behind the wall, were a second and third cave. These caves hadn't been touched in over 2000 years. Inside he found lots of pottery shards and one large stalagmite. This stalagmite had two very unusual features. First it had obviously been moved to a prominent place. And it was shaped like a sixty centimeter tall phallus. Dr. Kaiser says this gives us the first insights into the private lives of the people of the region, the Illyrians. Dr. Kaiser is a research associate at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.

Extractions: Nobel Prize Winning Chemists Michael Smith The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1993 Michael Smith was born on April 26, 1932 in Blackpool, England. His parents were Mary Agnes Smith and Rowland Smith. He went to the local school, Marton Moss Church of England School for 6 years from the age of 5. He entered the first-rate chemistry honors program at the University of Manchester in 1950 and graduated in 1953. He arrived in Vancouver in September 1956. His first project was to develop a general, efficient procedure for the chemical synthesis of nucleoside-5' triphosphates based on the synthesis of ATP by Khorana in 1954. This study led to more extensive investigations of the reactions of carbodumides with acids, including phosphoric acid esters and to a general procedure for the preparation of nucleoside-3', 5' cyclic phosphates, a class of compounds whose existence and great biological significance had only recently been discovered. One particular pleasure of that period was the development of the methoxyl -trityl family of protecting groups for nucleoside-5'-hydroxyl groups (one synthesis of the trimethoxytritanol reupted and left a large orange stain on the laboratory ceiling); this class of protecting group is still in use in modern automated synthesis of DNA and RNA fragments. Michael Smith was recipient of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry 1993 "for his fundamental contributions to the establishment of oligonucleotide-based, site-directed mutagenesis and its development for protein studies".

Extractions: After joining the Department of Biochemistry at the University of British Columbia in 1966, Dr. Smith developed a critical technique that has become an essential tool in the field of genetic engineering - site-directed mutagenesis - which makes possible the deliberate and predictable altering of the coding sequence of genes. With this technique the structure of proteins can be altered both to generate new knowledge and to produce new substances: e.g. the genetic manipulation of bacteria and yeast cells so that they will produce human insulin. In 1993 Dr. Smith was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this work. Among his many other awards, he was made a Companion of the Order of Canada in 1995.
