In 1960, John B. S. Haldane published a note in Nature [62] in which he returned to Pasteur s ideas [63] in the wake of the discovery of parity violation. Haldane is quoting Pasteur in French, but what we quote here we communicate in English translation. Haldane begins with mentioning the discovery of parity violation that has led to the notion of the asymmetrical universe. This was first enunciated by Pasteur It is inescapable that dissymmetric forces must be operative during the synthesis of the first dissymmetric natural products. ...

We thank Ms Emily Gibson for compiling and checking references. This article is dedicated to the memory of Professor John Sanderson Haldane, FRS (1861-1936), who conducted experiments on himself with poisonous carbon monoxide to save the life of miners, and whose laws on the exchange of gases remain valid even today. 

George E. Briggs and John B.S. Haldane re-evaluated the Michaelis-Menten equation and contributed to the modem view on the steady-state treatment of enzyme-catalyzed reactions [90]. 

To simplify matters, George Briggs and John Haldane suggested the steady-state assumption in 1924. In a steady state, the concentrations of intermediates-—in this case, [ES]—stay the same even if the concentrations of starting... 

George E. Briggs and John B. S. Haldane, in 1925, examined the earlier Michaeiis-Menten analysis and made an important development. Instead of assuming that the first stage of the reaction was at equilibrium, they merely assumed that, for all intents and purposes, the concentration of the enzyme-substrate complex scarcely changed with time i.e., it is in a steady state. Written mathematically, this amounts to... 

The term pre-equilibrium can also be used in this case. While Michaelis and Menten assumed that the subsequent reaction creating the product runs so slowly as to be negligible, the extended approach of George Edward Briggs and John Burdon Sanderson Haldane (1925) also takes the rate coefficient of the consecutive reaction into account. 

In Britain, for example, Winston Churchill, Field Marshal Sir John Dill and J.B.S. Haldane were among those who were not inhibited by the moralistic case against gas warfare see W.S. Churchill to General Ismay for Chiefs of Staff Committee, 6 July 1944, PRO, PREM 3/89 The Use of Gas in Home Defence. Memorandum by CIGS , 15 June 1940, PRO, WO 193/732 J.B.S.

The first hypothesis of this type for explaining the appearance of life on our planet was due to the Russian biochemist Alexander I. Oparin and independently by the British evolutionary biologist John B. S. Haldane, and is more than 50 years old. The basic idea in the Oparin-Haldane hypothesis is that the atmosphere contained only reducing molecules mentioned previously under (2), during the first few thousand million years of its existence. 

For John S. Haldane see Douglas 1936 Sturdy 1987 Goodman 2008 Sturdy 2011 see ako Haldane 1925, p. 63, who recounts how his father was sent to France to identify the gas which the Germans had used.

Although he was himself skeptical that germ warfare would ever materialize as a threat, the British scientist John Burdon Sanderson Haldane first warned of the yellow fever threat as biological weapon in 1938. Following reports of attempts—all of which were unsuccessful— by the Japanese Army to acquire yellow fever virus in 1939, the threat to American troops in the Pacific fi om this potential BW agent spurred a crash effort in the United States to produce a vaccine. Unfortunately, when it was administered in 1942 to thousands of...
