Dr. Randy Schekman Essay
Dr. Randy Schekman graduated from the university of California, LA in 1971 for molecular biology and got his Ph.D. in biochemistry at Stanford University in 1975. Now he is currently working at the university of California as a professor of cell and development biology and also works at the Howard Huges Medical Institute Investigator. His main focus for his research is in the molecular description of the process of membrane assembly and vestibular movement in the eukaryotic cells.
His interest in science started at a young age, he describes it when he got his first microscope and he saw his first specimen, and it open his eyes into the world of medicine. Even though his parents basically told him he didn't see his vision in the toy microscope, he …show more content…
It's one of the greatest theories in the 20th century. From Kornberg, his other mentor, had thoughts about this since it was a difficult subject. So Dr. Schekman decided to use bakers yeast at Berkeley in 1976. They divide at 2 hours, send out a bud at a 90-minute pace, and it's a faster-reacting element. They are like animal cells since they have close characteristics. They have a tight cytoplasm, lots of ribosomes and have membranes that have a close resemblance to the ER. Their attention was to the cells close to the bud. This is close to pancreatic cells and neurotransmitter for how they work. What wasn't done before was blocking the plasma membrane in the cell. They had a lot of protest for the work that they did but they had a lot of success with the work they did. They had a mutant that secreted cells in the cell. They got Palaty to examine the mutants, and they saw the growing of the mutant and continue to manufacture the granule even when the cell dies. The gene responsible for being found as evolutionary concerned as it is active engaged at the presynaptic membrane similarity. The isolated more mutants and looked for
