STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) -- Dr. Guenter Blobel of The Rockefeller University
in New York won the Nobel Prize for medicine today for protein research
that shed new light on diseases including cystic fibrosis and early develop-
ment of kidney stones.
Blobel, 63, a native of Germany, was cited for discovering that proteins
carry
signals that act as zip codes, helping them find their correct locations
within the cell.
Some hereditary diseases are caused by errors in these signals and the
associated transport mechanisms, the Nobel Assembly said in announcing the
prize. The work has helped scientists use cells in laboratories to churn out
drugs, and has had an ``immense impact'' on studies of the cell, the
assembly said.
Blobel was not immediately available for comment.
