text: However, widespread acceptance of DNA as the bearer of genetic information did not come until a report by other workers in 1952 that DNA, not protein, enters a bacterial cell infected by a virus .
text: Until then, biochemists had assumed that deoxyribonucleic acid was a relatively unimportant, structural chemical in chromosomes and that proteins, with their greater chemical complexity, transmitted genetic traits.
text: The information role of DNA was further supported in 1952 when Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase demonstrated that to make new viruses, a bacteriophage virus injected DNA, not protein, into the host cell (see How Viruses Work for more information).
text: Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty showed that DNA (not proteins) can transform the properties of cells, clarifying the chemical nature of genes.
text: McCarty, an American, and Canadians Avery and MacLeod were working at Rockefeller University in New York when they discovered that DNA, not proteins, had the ability to transform the properties of cells.
text: In the fifties American virologists, Hershey and Chase (1952) provided further evidence that DNA, not proteins, contains the blueprints for manufacturing the new particles of T2 viruses in the T2-infected cells of bacteria.
text: An article published by the US National Human Genome Research Institute says biochemists had previously “assumed that deoxyribonucleic acid was a relatively unimportant, structural chemical in chromosomes and that proteins, with their greater chemical complexity, transmitted genetic traits”.
