George Wells Beadle was an American geneticist who, along with Edward Tatum, developed the One gene-one enzyme hypothesis through their groundbreaking work. Their experiments with Neurospora crassa illustrated the connection between genes and enzymatic reactions, leading to a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1958. Beadle’s research greatly contributed to the understanding of genetic regulation in cellular biochemical processes, making a lasting impact on the field of genetics.
