Marshall Warren Nirenberg coauthored cell-free experiments connecting synthetic RNA with amino-acid incorporation into proteins. With J. Heinrich Matthaei, he used the response to defined polyribonucleotides to investigate the genetic code.
A defined template changes one component of a complex extract while the other biochemical machinery remains available. This makes the observed incorporation informative about the template's coding role.[ref]
