Christian Boemer Anfinsen

He retired from the National Institutes of Health in 1981, and joined the faculty of John Hopkins University in 1982 as biochemist and biology professor.1

In the 1950s, he began to look more in depth into the relationship

between the structure and the function in enzymes. When he studied

ribonuclease, Anfinsen proposed that the tertiary structure of a protein resides in the chemistry of its amino acid sequence. Many proteins could spontaneously refold to their native forms after the cleavage of disulfide bonds and the disruption of the tertiary structure.2

The main point of direction of Anfinsens research was the folding of the polypeptide chains. The majority of his experiments used enzymes that catalyzed the hydrolysis of nucleic acids. Many important ideas developed from the studies of these specific enzymes, including the connection between protein ch

of the American Cancer society from 1947-1948, in Sweden. He retired from the National Institutes of Health in 1981, and joined the faculty of John Hopkins University in 1982 as biochemist and biology professor.1

The main point of direction of Anfinsens research was the folding of the polypeptide chains. The majority of his experiments used enzymes that catalyzed the hydrolysis of nucleic acids. Many important ideas developed from the studies of these specific enzymes, including the connection between protein chemistry and genetics, which leads to the scientific understanding of evolution. The ideas provide an example of the process, which governs the folding of protein molecules into their biologically active conformations.2
