Linus Pauling (1901-1994) was born in Portland Ore gon and was educated at Oregon State University and at the California Institute of Technology where he earned a Ph D in chemistry in 1925 In addition to re search in bonding theory Pauling studied the structure of proteins and was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for that work in 1954 Paul ing won a second Nobel Prize (the Peace Prize) in 1962 for his efforts to limit the testing of nuclear weapons He was one of only four scientists to have won two Nobel Prizes The first double winner was a woman Can you name her" ... 

The primary structure of a peptide is its ammo acid sequence We also speak of the secondary structure of a peptide that is the conformational relationship of nearest neighbor ammo acids with respect to each other On the basis of X ray crystallographic studies and careful examination of molecular models Linus Pauling and Robert B Corey of the California Institute of Technology showed that certain peptide conformations were more stable than others Two arrangements the a helix and the (5 sheet, stand out as...

This work was done while Roberts was at MIT. He later moved to the California Institute of Technology, where he became a leader in applying NMR spectroscopy to nuclei other than protons, especially Cand N.

George Simms Hammond (1921-2005) was bom on Hardscrabble Road m Auburn, Maine, the son of a dairy farmer. He received his Ph.D. at Harvard Universitv in 1947 and served as professor of chemistry at Iowa State University, California Institute of Technology (1958-1972), and the University of California at Santa Cruz (1972-1978). He was known for his exploratory work on organic photochemistry—the use of light to bring about organic reactions. 

Saul Winstein (1912-1969) was bom in Montreal, Canada, and received his Ph.D. in 1938 at the California Institute of Technology. From 1942 to 1969, he was professor of chemistry at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he devoted his scientific career to the study of organic reaction mechanisms, particularly those involving carbocations. 

In the 1930s a theoretical treatment of the covalent bond was developed by, among others, Linus Pauling (1901-1994), then at the California Institute of Technology. The atomic orbital or valence bond model won him the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1954. Eight years later, Pauling won the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to stop nuclear testing. 

Eric Scerri studied chemistry at the Universities of London, Cambridge and Southampton, and obtained a Ph.D. in the history and philosophy of science from King s College, London on the question of "The Reduction of Chemistry to Quantum Mechanics," He has been a research felloiu in the history and philosophy of science at the London School of Economics and at the California Institute of Technology. He is currently an assistant professor of chemistry at Bradley University, where he also teaches histoiy and philosophy of chemistry, which are also his main research interests. He is editor of the new journal Foundations of Chemistry. Address Department of Chemistry, Bradley University, Peoria, IL 61625. Internet scerri bradley.edu.
