	The Scientist : Bruce Merrifield dies
		Bruce Merrifield, one of the fathers of modern peptide synthesis and recipient of the 1984 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, died of a long illness last week (May 14) at his home in Cresskill, N.J., according to Rockefeller University.
		Merrifield was best known as the creator of solid phase peptide synthesis, a process that enabled the systematic study of the structure of proteins.
		Bruce Merrifield's scientific legacy is unquestioned; his work is the foundation on which all advances in the study of biologically active peptides have been made and his Nobel Prize was simple recognition of this fact.

	Bruce Merrifield, Nobel Prize winner, dies - Boston.com
		Bruce Merrifield, whose greatly accelerated process for making proteins helped develop an array of medications and earned him the 1984 Nobel Prize in chemistry, has died.
		Proteins are key components of all living organisms, and Merrifield's innovation allowed researchers to make peptides and proteins in a matter of days, rather than years, according to The Rockefeller University in Manhattan, where he worked.
		Merrifield is survived by his wife, five daughters, one son and 16 grandchildren.

	Bruce Merrifield, 84; won Nobel for work in proteins - The Boston Globe
		LOS ANGELES -- Bruce Merrifield, the Henry Ford of the biological world who received the 1984 Nobel Prize in chemistry for automating the previously daunting process of synthesizing complex proteins, died May 14 at his home in Creskill, N.J., after a long illness.
		Merrifield's inspiration was to take the first amino acid in the chain and attach it to a bead of insoluble plastic.
		Merrifield quickly realized that the highly repetitive process could be automated, though few experts agreed with him.

	1998 ABRF Award to Dr. Bruce Merrifield
		On May 26, 1959, Dr. Merrifield began a new page in his laboratory notebook entitled, "A New Approach to the Continuous, Stepwise Synthesis of Peptides." He began, "There is a need for a rapid, quantitative method for synthesis of long chain peptides", and he then laid out his strategy for devising such a method.
		Merrifield technologies are the cornerstone of many ABRF resource and research laboratories, and have formed the foundation for hundreds of successful businesses, both large and small.
		Merrifield has also made important contributions to the nurturing and education of several generations of chemists, who continue to push the frontiers of the chemistry of peptides and other compounds.

		Using this technique Merrifield synthesized the nonapeptide bradykinin in just 27 hours, and in 1969 he synthesized ribonuclease, the first enzyme to be prepared synthetically from its amino acid components (124 amino acid residues).
		Prior to Merrifield's time, using conventional reactions in solution, peptide synthesis was exceedingly tedious and, for very large peptides, virtually impossible.
		Merrifield was born in Texas but grew up in California.
