Frontispiece, pp. 153-166. Original wrappers. Near Fine. First Edition. SIGNED BY DAVID BALTIMORE (on the front wrapper). Offprint of David Baltimore's Nobel Lecture, December 12, 1975. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1975 was awarded jointly to David Baltimore, Renato Dulbecco and Howard Martin Temin "for their discoveries concerning the interaction between tumour viruses and the genetic material of the cell." "After Renato Dulbecco discovered that tumor viruses operate by incorporating their DNA into the DNA of host cells, David Baltimore and Howard Temin--independently of one another--discovered that viruses with genomes consisting of RNA can also be inserted into host cells' DNA. This takes place through an enzyme known as 'reverse transcriptase'. The discovery that the information in RNA can be transferred to DNA meant that the generally accepted rule that genetic information was only transferred in one direction--from DNA to RNA, to protein--had to be modified" (Nobel Prize website).
