Elizabeth Beach Keller (1918—1997) was an American biochemist. She is noted for her discoveries on protein formation.[1] These included her development of the cloverleaf model of transfer RNA (ribonucleic acid), which shows how transfer RNA helps in directing the genetic information within the DNA to form proteins.[2] This model was included in Robert W. Holley's set of works that earned him a share of the Nobel Prize.[3]
