Daniel E.Koshland,Jr (1920-2007)

摘要

Dan Koshland was one of the best-known biochemists of our time,and,as his interests were broad and his energy unlimited,it is certain that we do not all remember him for the same reasons.After war-time service in the development of ways to purify plutonium,he was one of the first graduate students of Frank Westheimer,and he has died just 3 months after his mentor.His last publication currently listed in PubMed is the obituary of Westheimer that he wrote for ACS Chemical Biology,published electronically just 3 days before he died in July himself.
