The Impact of Protein Chemistry on the Biomedical Sciences

We have entitled this work "The Impact of Protein Chemistry on the Biomedical Sciences" to emphasize Christian B. Anfinsen's role in both the development of the field of protein chemistry and the training of young scientists who have built on their experiences in the Anfinsen laboratory to pioneer in a large spectrum of the biological and medical sciences. Thus, we hope that this volume will effectively represent not only the current status of Anfinsen's research contributions but also the incredible variety of fertile areas that have evolved from the principles learned in this one laboratory.
