Phoebus Levene was born in 1869.
He was a Russian-American Biochemist who studied the structure and function of nucleic acids. (1869-1940)
He disproved Phoebus Levene's theory that DNA was composed of a large number of repeats of GACT.
Ben Levene was born in 1938.
Carol Levene was born on December 13, 1911.
David Levene was born on 1908-02-25.
George Levene was born on 1885-05-01.
Gustavo Gabriel Levene was born in 1905.
Sam Levene was born on 1905-08-28.
Keith Levene was born on July 18, 1957.
Harrison Phoebus was born in 1840.
Phoebus was born on January 1, 1971.
Phoebus Levene discovered the basic components of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. He identified that each nucleotide consists of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Levene proposed the "tetranucleotide hypothesis," suggesting that DNA was made up of repeating units of four nucleotides, although this idea was later revised. His work laid the groundwork for understanding the molecular structure of DNA, even as later research revealed its more complex arrangements.
