Sidney Altman Work Quotations

We are very fortunate to be recognized here in such an extraordinary manner for work that we enjoy.

It was from them that I learned that hard work in stable surroundings could yield rewards, even if only in infinitesimally small increments.

At the MRC laboratory I started the work that led to the discovery of RNase P and the enzymatic properties of the RNA subunit of that enzyme.

The chemical details of catalysis by RNase P remain to be fully worked out although a rough picture of this reaction is now available.
