TIANGEN BIOTECH (BEIJING) CO., LTD., a leading biotech manufacturer, supplier and factory based in China, introduces the groundbreaking Hershey and Chase experiment. The Hershey and Chase experiment was a pivotal moment in molecular biology that helped to prove that DNA, not protein, was the genetic material in cells. The experiment was conducted by Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in 1952.
The Hershey and Chase Experiment used bacteriophages, which are viruses that infect bacterial cells, to prove that DNA was the genetic material. Hershey and Chase tagged the bacteriophages with radioactive isotopes and tracked them as they infected the bacteria. They discovered that the DNA of the virus entered the bacteria and that the viral proteins did not. This groundbreaking experiment provided a foundation for future research on DNA and paved the way for modern molecular biology techniques.
