Abstract

After the total synthesis of crystalline bovine insulin, the research team members, the experts at the appraisal meeting, and the leaders of Ministry of Higher Education and Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed some research plans. But these plans were suspended because of the broken of the Culture Revolution. A year later, the second Beijing science seminar was scheduled to be held in the summer of 1968.It prompted these plans to start again. According to vice Premier Nie Rongzhen’s instructions and the August 24, 1964 night talks of Mao Zedong, the relevant personnel held a series of conferences in 1967—1968, and proposed series projects about artificial synthetic life, such as the determination of crystal structure of insulin, the synthesis of tobacco mosaic virus protein subunit, the synthesis of yeast alanine tRNA.
