Jesse Philip Greenstein Biochemiker und Krebsforscher
Das Buch von Dr. Jesse Greenstein von 1954 „Biochemistry of Cancer“.
P. Greenstein, Biochemist and Investigator of Cancer The sudden death of Jesse Philip Greenstein on 12 February 1959 ended a career of outstanding achievement. Dr. Greenstein had achieved eminence in his extensive work on the chemistry of amino acids, peptides, and proteins, and on the biochemistry of cancer. He was born in New York City on 20 June 1902 and did his undergraduate work at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, from which he was graduated in 1926 with honors in chemistry. He then went to Brown University, where he worked with C. A. Kraus and P. H. Mitchell. His Ph.D. thesis dealt with electrometric determinations of the dissociation of glycine and certain simple peptides; its character foreshadowed much of his later work. In 1930-31 he was a National Research Council fellow at Harvard, under Edwin J. Cohn, where he continued and extended his studies on the ionization constants of peptides. This was followed by a year’s work in Dresden under Max Bergmann, who was just developing the carbobenzoxy method of peptide synthesis. Greenstein’s experience in Bergmann’s laboratory profoundly influenced his subsequent career. With Bergmann and Zervas he was the first to apply the new methods to the synthesis of lysylglutamic acid and lysylhistidine, and he developed a mastery of both organic and physical chemistry, particularly in relation to the study of peptides and proteins, which was exceptional among the biochemists of his generation. … weiter zum englischen Artikel:
