1:14:12kids do. 1983 mapping of DNA repair mechanisms. Yes. Um DNA when it gets transcribed, when it gets messed with, there's a lot of errors that happen. And yet the error rate for us even is like 1 in a billion. That seems not a lot, >> right? Given just the amount of jiggling that happens at 300 Kelvin >> at our body temperature. So here Paul Modric at Duke University and Aziz Sanchar at UNCC Chapel Hill >> both from North Carolina. They systematically mapped how cells safeguard genetic integrity against
1:14:53mutations and UV damage. And that won them the 2015 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. >> The only time you will see Duke and UNC collaborating uh in a positive way as as arch nemesises in almost every other
