Arthur Kornberg (1918-2007) was an American biochemist who made outstanding contributions to molecular biology through his research on enzymes. He was the first to isolate DNA polymerase, the enzyme that assembles DNA from its components, and the first to synthesize DNA in a test tube, which earned him a Nobel Prize in 1959.
Kornberg turned instead to some of the smallest bacterial viruses (phages), such as the phi X174 and M13 viruses of E. coli, for his study. With their comparatively short DNA strands, these viruses are easier to keep intact during handling, and their biological activity is easy to observe.
