Writing Sample
“The 37-year-old graduate student sat on a stool in a molecular biology lab one late night in 1989 and stared at a gel.
“Craig Tuerk was tired and had been running experiments for 18 hours straight, and with growing excitement scribbled down chemical sequences.
“If what he saw were true, his experiment reproduced a result that nature had taken thousands of years to produce. By sifting and resifting molecules, he found a sequence of molecules that fit a protein like a hand in a glove, stopping DNA from replicating. He also found several unexpected sequences out of 56,000 possibilities that could equally fit the protein like a key in a lock.
“The result was totally surprising, and Tuerk had an astounding insight. Using this process, he thought, he could find nucleic acids that can bind very tightly to any protein, and maybe he could find a way to intercept proteins that cause disease.”
