Mortimer Louis Anson
Mortimer (Tim) Louis Anson (1901 – 16 October 1968) was the protein chemist who proposed that protein folding was a reversible, two-state reaction. He was the founding editor of ''Advances in Protein Chemistry''. Protein folding studies Together with Alfred Mirsky, Anson was the first to propose that conformational protein folding was a reversible process. He later proposed that it was essentially a two-state process, i.e., that the folded and unfolded states were well-defined thermodynamic states separated by a large activation energy barrier. He also was the first to note that the energy barrier typical of folding (5 kcal/mol, 20 kJ/lmol) was small compared to the absolute magnitudes of the energies and entropies involved (~100 kcal/mol, 400 kJ/mol) and, hence, proposed that energy and entropy were continuously traded off during the folding process. Anson moved to the Rockefeller Institute in 1927, where he remained for fifteen years (1927–1942). He worked ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

At the 2012 Summer Olympics Jennifer Anson competed in the Women's 63 kg, but was quickly defeated in the initial elimination round of 32. Anson was on her back and out almost as soon as her first fight had started, overwhelmed by a far superior and younger Mongolian opponent, Munkhzaya Tsedevsuren.
