Camion, a Harvard colleague and author of The Wisdom of the Body (1932) and of a very full biographical memoir published by the National Academy of Sciences (Camion, 1945), and Jacques Loeb, a Rockefeller Institute protagonist whose classic essay The Mechanistic Concept of Life (1912) stood in sharp contrast to the organicism of the two Harvard scientists.

One of the most important classes of charged colloids is the globular proteins. Jacques Loeb (1859-1924) of the Rockefeller Institute presented a paper on Proteins and Colloid Chemistry. He stressed the importance of the isoelectric point, since globular proteins had no net charge at this pH and hence were likely to precipitate. The science of polyelectrolyte systems remains a challenging topic today.
