"iBioSeminars® is a freely available library of seminars from outstanding scientists. Our mission is to host lectures that describe on-going research in leading laboratories (they are not basic, survey-style lectures as might be found in undergraduate or graduate student biology courses). However, iBioSeminars features a more extensive introduction into the subject matter than a typical 50 min university seminar. Thus, these lectures are intended to be more accessible than many typical department seminars to advanced undergraduates/beginning graduate students and researchers outside of the specific field. The lectures are divided into two or three segments, which can be downloaded separately. Some segments are crafted as more basic introductions (usually the first), others explore a particular research topic, and some segments provide a perspective of the field and where it is going. As is true of any seminar, each speaker has their own style of how they present their material." - The American Society for Cell Biology

Fred Sanger
Two Time Chemistry Nobel Prize Winner and Father of Molecular Biology

Interviewed in 2001 by Harry Kroto, Edward Goldwyn and John Sulston with John Walker.
Fred Sanger is often considered the father of modern molecular biology, and is one of the few people to have been awarded two Nobel prizes. Working in Cambridge he developed a new chromatographic method for determining amino-acid end-groups. His new chromatographic results on the free amino groups of insulin were published in 1945 and the complete sequence of insulin in 1955.

Max Perutz Interview 1

Max Perutz discovered the structure of Haemoglobin (Nobel Prize 1962), and was the founder of the Laboratory for Molecular Biology in Cambridge, the birthplace of modern molecular biology.

Origin of Life - John Maynard Smith, Sussex University

In modern organisms, there is a division of labour between two kinds of molecule: DNA, which stores and transmits genetic information, and proteins, which do all the work. They are connected by the `genetic code`, whereby DNA specifies what kinds of proteins can be made. This process of translation is well understood, but it is far too complicated to have arisen by chance in the primitive oceans. How can this apparent paradox be resolved?

An elegantly simple optical diffraction demonstration with an inexpensive laser pointer is used to show the way in which x-rays can reveal the structure of crystals, and in particular, the double helix structure of DNA.
