John

Tileston Edsall (3

November 1902 – 12 June 2002) was an early protein scientist, who contributed

significantly to the understanding of the hydrophobic interaction. Born

in Philadelphia, John Edsall moved to Boston with his family at the age of 10.

He graduated from Harvard University with a degree in chemistry. At Harvard he

was a good friend of the physicist Robert Oppenheimer. In

1943, Edsall and Cohn published a

physical chemistry book Proteins, Amino Acids and Peptides, that

had a profound influence on the next generation of protein scientists. Edsall

worked with Edwin Cohn during World War II to apply protein methods to blood fractionation. John

Edsall was a founding co-editor of the journal Advances in Protein

Chemistry. He was invited by the publisher Kurt Jacoby and

the founding editor Tim Anson, whom he had met

in 1924 in Cambridge (although they were both undergraduates at Harvard University at

nearly the same time). He was Professor at the Harvard University. He inspired

medical student Alexander Rich to

pursue an academic career. Edsall

was active in preserving the history of protein science.
