| Title | Nagai, Kiyoshi: certificate of election to the Royal Society |
| Description | Citation typed |
| Citation | Dr Nagai is best known for his most recent work in determining the atomic structures of components of the molecular machinery which excises introns and splices exons during messenger-RNA processing. In his earlier work, he invented the first effective method of producing authentic eukaryotic proteins in bacteria. He has shown that haemoglobins are adapted to the physiological needs of animals living in different environments by a few amino acid substitutions in key positions. Nagai later engineered a genetically modified human haemoglobin as a blood substitute which is now being manufactured in bulk and is at an advanced stage of clinical trial |
