The Nutty Professor (1996) is about overweight genetics professor - TopicsExpress



          

The Nutty Professor (1996) is about overweight genetics professor Sherman Klump (Eddie Murphy) who creates a quinone compound that transforms him into thin, aggressive Buddy Love (also Eddie Murphy). Klump takes it because he’s in love with chemistry professor Carla Purty (Jada Pinkett Smith). The compound appears on a computer screen in the movie for less than a second but I’m sure it is adenine quinone triphosphate (AQTP), which just might be incorporated during DNA synthesis and just might do some oxidative damage. I wrote about the science consultant for this movie in Nature Chemistry a few years ago. nature/nchem/journal/v3/n7/full/nchem.1082.html
