Fraenkel-Conrat was born in Breslau/Germany and received an MD from the University of Breslau in 1933.

Due to the rise of Nazism in Germany he left for Scotland in 1933 and finished his PhD at the University of Edinburgh (1936). Nazism, which was a short name for National Socialism (Nationalsozialismus refers primarily to the Ideology and practices of the National Socialist German Scotland ( Gaelic: Alba) is a Country in northwest Europethat occupies the northern third of the island of Great Britain.

After completing his doctorate, he emigrated to the United States, becoming a naturalized citizen in 1941.

He worked at a number of institutes before joining the faculty at the University of California, Berkeley in 1952 where he remained until his death.

His most noted research was on the tobacco mosaic virus. Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV is an RNA virus that infects Plants especially Tobacco and other members of the family Solanaceae. He discovered that the genetic control of viral reproduction was RNA and that it is carried in the nucleic core of each virus. Ribonucleic acid ( RNA) is a Nucleic acid that consists of a long chain of Nucleotide units In 1955 he and biophysicist Robley Williams showed that a functional virus could be created out of purified RNA and a protein coat. Year 1955 ( MCMLV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays the 1955 Gregorian calendar) Robley Cook Williams ( 1908 - January 3, 1995) was an early Biophysicist and Virologist. Proteins are large Organic compounds made of Amino acids arranged in a linear chain and joined together by Peptide bonds between the Carboxyl In 1960 he announced the complete sequencing of the 158 amino acids in the virus.
