ACS Award in Biological Chemistry sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company
Dr. Gerald M. Edelman
The ACS Award in Biological Chemistry, sponsored by Eli Lilly & Co., will be given to Dr. Gerald M. Edelman at the ACS national meeting in Detroit next month. Presentation will be made by Eugene Farkas, senior scientist at Eli Lilly. The award recognizes the outstanding contributions Dr. Edelman has made in advancing the knowledge of antibody structure and globulin interrelationships. Dr. Edelman is an associate professor and associate dean of graduate studies at Rockefeller Institute. He was born in New York City in 1929, and received his B.S. degree from Ursinus College in 1950. He then attended University of Pennsylvania medical school and graduated with an M.D. degree in 1954. Following a year as medical house officer at Massachusetts General Hospital and two years with the U.S. Army Medical Corps, Dr. Edelman began his research work in the doctoral program at Rockefeller Institute in 1957. After earning a Ph.D. under Dr. H. G. Kunkel in 1960, he remained at the institute as a staff member. In recognition of the value of his research and of his abilities as a teacher, he was made associate professor in July 1963. In addition to being a biochemist of unusual talents, Dr. Edelman has earned distinction in other fields. He is a physician and an accomplished violinist. His knowledge of music and musicians qualified him to arrange for the musical program at the International Congress of Biochemistry last year. Dr. Edelman's research efforts have been directed primarily to immunochemistry. In the short span of four
years, he has gained international stature for his work on the structure of normal gamma globulin, the myeloma globulins, and the Bence-Jones proteins. While still a graduate student, Dr. Edelman showed that gamma globulin molecules consist of multiple chains which could be separated from one another by simple reduction. From this work, he went on to a systematic study of the separation and identification of distinguishable polypeptide chains of reduced globulins. He and his colleagues have identified two major types of chains which differ in amino acid sequence and distribution in various antibodies. This work helped establish a four-chain structure which is the current working model for most antibodies. Drawing on his medical background, Dr. Edelman recognized that in the disease multiple myeloma, excellent experimental material is available in the form of relatively pure proteins of the gamma globulin group. In the course of his investigations, Dr. Edelman provided a convincing solution to the mystery of the origin and structure of Bence-Jones proteins, and established their relationship to the myeloma protein. He has shown that the urinary Bence-Jones protein usually occurs as a dimer of one of the types of chains of the gamma globulin molecule. This finding suggests that the Bence-Jones proteins may result from some metabolic defect in the linking of the polypeptide chains of the gamma globulin molecule; it is certain to open new vistas in studies of the molecular basis of the gamma globulin-related diseases.

James T. Grady Award
Dr. Isaac Asimov
To teen-age science fiction fans he's known as Paul French. By the ACS, the readers of his straight science writing, and his adult science fiction fans, however, the 1965 winner of the James T. Grady Award is known as Dr. Isaac Asimov. The $1000 award will be presented to him at the coming Detroit meeting by Byron Riegel, chairman of the ACS Committee on Public, Professional, and Member Relations. Though Dr. Asimov is an associate professor of biochemistry at Boston University school of medicine, nowadays most of his time is devoted to writing. He says, "I can never get caught up; for eight years IVe been writing against a backlog." To account for his prolific output, he says, "I do all my own typing, but I type 70 words a minute and never slow down. The key characteristic is, I suppose, single-mindedness. I type every day, except when the typewriters are kept forcibly out of reach." Dr. Asimov came to this country from the U.S.S.R. when he was three years old. He grew up in Brooklyn, and, he says "by working at odd jobs, getting scholarships, and putting the bite on my father I managed to go on to college—to Columbia." He sold his first story—a science fiction yarn Amazing Stories in 1938. In 1950 he published his first book, "Pebble in the Sky," also science fiction. In the period 1950-52 he collaborated with two members of his department on a textbook for medical students—"Biochemistry and Human Metabolism." Of the collaboration, Dr. Asimov says, "That introduced me to the delights of nonfiction. I went
on to discover the even greater ecstasies of writing science for the general public. By 1958 I had gradually given up first my research, then most of my teaching, and finally even my science fiction. Now I devote myself almost entirely to science-writing." Thus, Dr. Asimov has brought science to the public in two ways: through his science fiction and through science writing. Though intended primarily as entertainment, his many fictional tales served to bring the scientific attitude to the public. As he said in C&EN in 1956, "I can only wish that even more technologically trained people were interested in science fiction and that even more tried to write it, if only to raise the quality of the field and make it still more efficient as one means of recruiting future scientists." All told, Dr. Asimov has written or coauthored more than 60 books and numerous shorter pieces. About 35 of his books are nonscience fiction and written for the general public. "Search for the Elements" and "The Living River" are among the many science books he has written. Dr. Asimov says, however, " 'The Intelligent Man's Guide to Science' was my most successful hardbound book. Of the science fiction stories, 'The Caves of Steel' was tops." Now 45 years old, Dr. Asimov was brought to the U.S. in 1923 and became a citizen five years later. He received his B.S. in chemistry in 1939, an M.A. in 1941, and his doctorate in enzyme chemistry in 1948 under Dr. Charles R. Davison, all from Columbia. He joined the Boston University school of medicine in 1949.

Dr. Earl L. Muetterties of Du Pont's central research department will receive the 1965 ACS Award in Inorganic Chemistry (sponsored by Texas Instruments, Inc.) at the ACS national meeting in Detroit next week. The award was established in 1960 by the Texas firm "to recognize and encourage fundamental research in the field of inorganic chemistry." Presentation will be made by Dr. R. R. Haberecht, manager of materials research lab of Texas Instruments. Dr. Muetterties has done outstanding research in synthetic and structural inorganic chemistry. His particular interests are fluorine, boron, and sulfur chemistry. The Du Pont scientist began his career with the synthesis of fluorocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons from simple inorganic starting materials. This fresh approach culminated in the issuing of a number of patents to Du Pont in 1955. One method Dr. Muetterties used for preparing gaseous fluorocarbons was the action of P F 5 on carbon in a graphite tube at 1600° C. Slow cooling of the reaction products gives principally CF 4 , whereas quenching results in C 2 F 4 . Boron Chemistry. Meanwhile, the Du Pont chemist continued studying his "first love" element, boron (his Ph.D. thesis dealt with complexes of boron trifluoride). Most important was his work leading to the synthesis of organoboranes. Here again, he used simple starting materials. Dr. Muetterties' work progressed into the synthesis of polyhedral borane anions, B 1 0 H 1 0 - 2 and B 12 H 12 ~ 2 (C&EN, Jan. 27, 1964, page 4 5 ) . Significance of this work is that the derivative chemistry of these anions is analogous to that of aromatic hydrocarbons.
Sulfur Chemistry. Examples of Dr. Muetterties' work in the chemistry of novel sulfur compounds are fluorosulfonates and derivatives of sulfur tetrafluoride and sulfur hexafluoride. His investigation of SF 4 showed it to be a novel fluorinating agent in inorganic chemistry. Dr. Muetterties does not limit his talent to these three main areas of research activity. He ventures freely —and fruitfully—into new fields outside the framework of his past successes whenever the need arises. A pertinent example is his preparation of silane from silicon dioxide. Structure. Dr. Muetterties was among the first to apply nuclear magnetic resonance to studying fluorine and boron compounds, and to draw conclusions about structures and exchange phenomena. He successfully combines a talent in preparative methods with originality in structural inorganic chemistry. He is one of the few research supervisors who perform their own experiments. He is a constant source of inspiration to his coworkers and has organized courses of instruction for them. Education. Earl Muetterties was born in Elgin, 111., in 1927. He received his B.S. at Northwestern University in 1949, and his M.A. at Harvard in 1951. He did his doctoral research under Dr. Charles A. Brown and Dr. Eugene G. Rochow at Harvard, where he received a Ph.D. in 1952. After graduation, Dr. Muetterties joined Du Pont's central research department as a research chemist. In 1955 he became research supervisor. The awardee is a member of several advisory and editorial boards of organizations and publications dealing with inorganic chemistry.
