Breaking the Genetic Code
... The key breakthrough in deciphering the genetic code came from an unexpected direction. In 1960, Marshall Nirenberg and J. H. Matthaei developed a system for synthesizing proteins in vitro. They had learned that preparation of disrupted cells soon ceased to make protein, and, in an attempt to prolon ...

Complement component 4
Complement component 4 is a protein involved in the complement system.It is cleaved into proteins 4a and 4b; 4b can be further cleaved into 4c and 4d. C4a is an anaphylatoxin. C4b forms part of C3-convertase, in conjunction with 2a: C4b can bind CR1.
