Description: Up for auction "Protein Scientist" John Edsall Hand Written Letter On A First Day Cover Dated 1963. ES-5850E John Tileston Edsall (3 November 1902 – 12 June 2002) was an early protein scientist, who contributed significantly to the understanding of the hydrophobic interaction. Born in Philadelphia, John Edsall moved to Boston with his family at the age of 10. He graduated from Harvard University with a degree in chemistry. At Harvard he was a good friend of the physicist Robert Oppenheimer. In 1943, Edsall and Cohn published a physical chemistry book Proteins, Amino Acids and Peptides, that had a profound influence on the next generation of protein scientists. Edsall worked with Edwin Cohn during World War II to apply protein methods to blood fractionation. John Edsall was a founding co-editor of the journal Advances in Protein Chemistry. He was invited by the publisher Kurt Jacoby and the founding editor Tim Anson, whom he had met in 1924 in Cambridge (although they were both undergraduates at Harvard University at nearly the same time). He was Professor at the Harvard University. He inspired medical student Alexander Rich to pursue an academic career. Edsall was active in preserving the history of protein science.
