Khorana was known for his groundbreaking research on the genetic code and the synthesis of nucleic acids. In the 1960s, he played a pivotal role in deciphering the genetic code and determining how the order of nucleotide bases in DNA determines the order of amino acids in proteins. This work laid the foundation for our understanding of how genetic information is encoded and translated in living organisms.
