Extractions: Dr. Melvin Calvin, October 26, 1961. As opposed to the heterotrophic organisms, the organisms belonging to the second group, the so-called autotrophic organisms, i.e. the green plants and certain bacteria, do not require organic material supplied from without. They synthesize organic compounds, primarily carbohydrates, from simple substances, carbon dioxide and water, substances that in themselves, do not contain any calories. The energy needed for the synthesis is supplied by light which is absorbed by the organisms and subsequently converted by them from light energy into chemical energy. The sequence of reactions by which carbon dioxide and water are converted to carbohydrate is called carbon dioxide assimilation or, taking into account the role of light energy, photosynthesis. It becomes obvious that photosynthesis not only provides an explanation for the existence of the autotrophic organisms but also furnishes food for man and animals. In other words, photosynthesis is the absolute prerequisite for all life on earth and the most fundamental of all biochemical reactions. It has been estimated that plants and microorganisms on earth transform about 6,000 tons of carbon from carbon dioxide to carbohydrate per second, with at least four-fifths of this amount contributed by organisms in the oceans.

He was 85. Calvin in his laboratory A member of the faculty at UC Berkeley since 1937, and one of the first chemists to join Ernest O. Lawrence's Radiation Laboratory, Calvin received the 1961 Nobel prize in chemistry for identifying the path of carbon in photosynthesis. Shortly thereafter he established the Chemical Biodynamics Division, the successor to today's Structural Biology Division, which he directed for 20 years. Throughout his distinguished career, Calvin was the recipient of a great many awards and honors, including the National Medal of Science, which he received from President Bush in 1989, the Priestly Medal from the American Chemical Society, the Davy Medal from the Royal Society of London, and the Gold Medal from the American Institute of Chemists. Calvin was born on April 8, 1911 in Saint Paul, Minnesota. He earned his undergraduate degrees from the Michigan College of Mining and Technology in 1931 and his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Minnesota in 1935. Following post-doctoral studies in England, Calvin was invited to join the UCB faculty by the illustrious chemist Gilbert Lewis who introduced him to Lawrence. According to legend, on the day of the Japanese surrender, Lawrence told Calvin that "Now is the time to do something useful with radioactive carbon," the isotope of carbon that had been discovered in 1940 at the 60-Inch Cyclotron. In response, Calvin organized a team of Rad Lab researchers to study photosynthesis the process by which green plants convert sunlight energy into chemical energy.

Extractions: Melvin Calvin, the winner of the 1961 Nobel Prize in chemistry, has influenced chemistry in the twentieth century as few others have. Referred to as Mr. Photosynthesis by Time magazine, Calvin contributed greatly to the understanding photosynthesis, arguably one of the most important processes that occur on earth. This report will cover a summary of Melvin Calvins life and career, an overview of the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis, and a description of the light-independent reaction that Calvin researched. It will also cite reasons why the process of photosynthesis is so vital, and explain some of the impact Calvins discovery had on modern science. Melvin Calvin was born in St. Paul, Minnesota on April 8, 1911, the son of Russian emigrants. Growing up, Calvin was fascinated with chemistry and the role it played in the world around him. This early interest in chemistry led him to a major in chemistry at Michigan College of Mining and Technology. He graduated with a bachelors degree in 1931.

Extractions: MELVIN CALVIN died in Berkeley on January 8, 1997, at the age of eighty-five from a heart attack following years of declining health. He was widely known for his mental intensity, skill in asking questions, and impressive presentation of his research and ideas. During the period 1946-57 Calvin directed laboratories utilizing radiocarbon-14 and other radioisotopes in the University of California's Radiation Laboratory, founded by Ernest Orlando Lawrence. Among his achievements was the delineation of the path of carbon in photosynthesis, for which he was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1961. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1954. Among his many honors were the Priestley Medal of the American Chemical Society in 1978, the U.S. National Medal of Science in 1989, and the Davy Medal of the Royal Society in 1964. Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, Melvin Calvin was the son of a Lithuanian immigrant father and a mother from Russian Georgia; they ran a small grocery store in Detroit, where young Melvin helped while going to Central High School. He became intrigued by the products on sale in the store, began to wonder what they were made of, and early on recognized the importance of chemistry in their makeup. Deciding to be a chemist, Melvin received his B.S. in 1931 at the Michigan College of Science and Technology (now Michigan Technological University), where he was the college's first chemistry major. He went on to take a Ph.D. with George C. Glockler at the University of Minnesota in 1935.

Extractions: NEWS RELEASE, 1/9/97 by Kathleen Scalise Berkeley Nobelist Melvin Calvin, a University of California at Berkeley chemistry professor and a leading scientist at the Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, died Wednesday (Jan. 8) at Alta Bates Hospital in Berkeley following years of declining health. He was 85. Labeled "Mr. Photosynthesis" by Time magazine in 1961, Calvin was awarded the Nobel Prize for using radioactive carbon-14 to show steps by which plants turn carbon dioxide and water into sugar during photosynthesis. Today this process is known as the "Calvin Cycle" in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants capture energy from the sun. "For many years, Melvin was a vital personality on the Berkeley campus who contributed greatly to science," said UC Berkeley Chancellor Chang-Lin Tien. "It is a sad occasion to lose such a colleague." Calvin, who won the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1961, was a University Professor of Chemistry. Born April 8, 1911, he retired in 1980, but continued his research until recently. His findings sparked the U.S. Department of Energy's interest in solar energy as a source of power.

Extractions: This years Nobel Prize in economics marks the 18th time a Berkeley scholar has been named a Nobel Laureate 17 October 2001 The announcement of George Akerlofs Nobel Prize in economics is historic coming as it does a year after Berkeley economist Daniel McFadden won the prize and as the campus celebrates the 100th birthday of the late Ernest O. Lawrence, its first Nobelist. As Chancellor Berdahl noted at a campus press conference last week announcing its latest laureate, Lawrences prize in physics in 1939 was the first Nobel Prize ever awarded a faculty member of a public university in America, and today were celebrating the most recent Nobel Prize awarded to a faculty member of a public university in America. There have been 18 Nobel winners in all at Berkeley. Here is an introduction to these scholars and the accomplishments honored by the Nobel committee.
