LAST DAY OF ARTHUR KORN BERG
Arthur Korn Berg was born on 03-March 1918.
He was an American Bio chemist.
He found the enzyme named DNA polymerase.
DNA polymerase enzyme assembles the building blocks into DNA.
Building blocks are molecules of nucleic acid.
DNA means de oxyribo nucleuic acid.
He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1959 in the field of medicine or physiology for the discovery of describing how DNA and RNA molecules replicate.
(Biological synthesis of DNA).
He got this Nobel prize along with Prof. Severo Ochoa.
His main research was in bio chemistry, especially in enzyme chemistry and DNA
replication.
He studied about nucleic acids which controls heredity in animals, plants, bacteria and viruses.
He was died on 26-October 2007.

LAST DAY OF LISE MEITNER
Lise Meitner was born on 07-November 1878.
She was an Austrian Physicist.
She was influenced by Otto Hahn.
She worked on radio activity and nuclear physics.
She was part of Hahn-Meitner-Strassmann team for research.
They together worked on trans-Uranium elements.
It leads to the discovery of nuclear fission of Uranium and thorium in 1938.
They observed nuclear fission when Uranium was bombarded with neutrons.
She was also discovered the first long lasting isotopes of element Protactinium with Otto Hahn.
She got Liben prize in 1925, Max Planck medal in 1955, Enrico Fermi award in 1966.
She presented two papers on beta radiation.
The 109th element s first named as Une (pet name). [Une - Un nil enn ium ]
Later the 109th element was named as Meitnerium in the honour of Lise meitner. She was died on 27-October 1968.

LAST DAY OF GEORGE UHLENBECK
George Uhlenbeck was born on 06-December 1900.
He was an American physicist and a native of Dutch.
He stated the spin quantum number.
Spin quantum number is the fourth quantum number that describes the electron.
Spin quantum number has two values.
If electron revolves in clockwise direction its value is +1/2 and for anti clock wise direction its value is -1/2.
He wrote many papers on atomic structure, quantum mechanics, nuclear physics.
He was known for Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process to describe Brownian motion.
He was died on 31-October 1988.
