Publication Details

Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.), 27, 499-506. 1941 CE.

Beadle and Tatum proposed the "one gene, one enzyme" hypothesis in 1941. This was a restatement of ideas originally proposed by Archibald Garrod (No. 244.1) in 1908.

1958 Beadle and Tatum shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Joshua Lederberg (No. 255.4) "for their discovery that genes act by regulating definite chemical events."
