Niemann, Carl

Cocaine was first isolated in 1860 by a chemist named Albert Niemann. Like most organic chemists before and after, Niemann had the habit of tasting compounds that he isolated. On this particular occasion Niemann noted that it caused a numbing of the tongue. Carl Roller, who used it as a topical anesthetic for ophthalmological surgery, first introduced cocaine into clinical practice in 1884. Subsequently, cocaine became popular for its use in infiltration and conduction block anesthesia.

To put an end to what he saw as a distraction from more valuable lines of inquiry, Pauling and fellow protein researcher Carl Niemann in 1939 published a paper marshaling all the chemical evidence in favor of their chain theory of protein structure and against Wrinch s arguments. Its impact was devastating. After it appeared, no one would take Wrinch s cyclols seriously again.

The NSF was not indifferent to chemistry it was just that from the foundation s perspective, the pleas of the chemists were no different from anyone else s. No field is ever likely to feel that it has enough money, and for the decision makers in the NSF, there was no easy method of distinguishing the cries of the painfully deprived from those of the affluent who merely sought more icing on their cake. In 1963 the Caltech chemist Carl Niemann wrote ... 

More extensive quantitative studies of inhibition of enzyme activity might well provide very interesting information about the configuration of the enzyme molecules. Carl Niemann and I have studies of this kind under way. 

When Linus Pauling and Carl Niemann reviewed the structure of proteins in 1939, they said that evidence regarding frequencies of 2 or 3 leading to the number 288 is not rigorous. Furthermore ...
