Richards, Frederick

As we saw in Chapter 3, the founding text of modern materials science was Frederick Seitz s The Modern Theory of Solids (1940) an updated version of this, also very influential in its day, was Charles Wert and Robb Thomson s Physies of Solids (1964). Alan Cottrell s Theoretical Structural Metallurgy appeared in 1948 (see Chapter 5) although devoted to metals, this book was in many ways a true precursor of materials science texts. Richard Weiss brought out Solid State Physics for Metallurgists in 1963. Several books such as Properties of Matter (1970), by Mendoza and Flowers, were on the borders of physics and materials science. Another key precursor book, still cited today, was Darken and Gurry s book. Physical Chemistry of Metals (1953), followed by Swalin s Thermodynamics of Solids.

The nature of thermonuclear war was made all too clear in the highly secret report of the Strath Committee in March 1955 on the home defence implications of thermonuclear weapons. William Strath had been seconded from the Treasury s Central Economic Planning Staff to set up the War Plans Secretariat, and his colleagues on the committee included representatives of the Chiefs of Staff, the Ministry of Defence (the Chief Scientist, Sir Frederick Bmndrett, and the Deputy Secretary, Sir Richard Powell), and the Home Office, including the Director-General of... 

An early discovery by Frederick Richards that turned out to be useful was that the protein could be cleaved between residues 20 and 21 by the bacterial serine protease, subtilisin. The resulting two polypeptides were separated and purified. They were enzymatically inactive individually, but regained the activity of the native enzyme when they were recombined. This work shows that strong, nonco-valent interactions occur that can hold protein chains together even when one of the peptide links is cut. It also makes it possible to modify specific amino acid residues of the two polypeptide chains independently and to explore how each residue contributes to the reassembly of the protein and the recovery of enzymatic activity.

Zhiping Zheng received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in chemistry from Peking University, China, and his Ph.D. from UCLA in 1995 with Professor M. Frederick Hawthorne. After conducting postdoctoral research with Professor Richard H. Holm at Harvard University, he joined the faculty of the University of Arizona in 1997. His current research is focused on the synthetic and materials chemistry of cluster compounds of both lanthanide and transition metal elements.
