Arthur Kornberg was an American biochemist whose work established the foundations of DNA synthesis. Trained in medicine, he turned to enzymatic research and, between the 1940s and 1960s, isolated the first DNA polymerase (DNA polymerase I), a central discovery that earned him the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1959, shared with Severo Ochoa.
Over his career, Kornberg held prominent academic positions at institutions such as the National Institutes of Health, Washington University in St. Louis, and Stanford University, where he led departments and ran an active laboratory for decades. He also received awards such as the National Medal of Science and various academic honors.
His scientific output combined studies of enzymes, DNA replication, and nucleotides, along with investigations into spores and polyphosphate metabolism. Kornberg trained a large “school” of disciples who remained influential in molecular biochemistry.
His legacy includes experimental contributions essential to modern molecular biology, reference works on DNA replication, and an academic lineage that continued to innovate in genetics and biochemistry.
