	Press Release: Papers of Nobel Scientist Christian Anfinsen Added to "Profiles in Science" Web Site
		Anfinsen, a biochemist at the National Institutes of Health from 1950 until 1981, was awarded the 1972 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on the structure and composition of proteins in living cells.
		Christian Boehmer Anfinsen, Jr., was born to Norwegian immigrants on March 26, 1916 in Monessen, Pennsylvania, a small town south of Pittsburgh.
		Anfinsen's work in the late 1960s demonstrated that understanding the chemistry of proteins was essential to understanding the function of ribonucleic acid (RNA) in heredity.

		Christian Boemer Anfinsen, winner of the 1972 Nobel Prize in chemistry and a Johns Hopkins University biochemist, died Sunday, May 14, of an apparent heart attack suffered at his home in the Baltimore suburb of Pikesville.
		Anfinsen believed these bacteria, which are capable of living at very high temperatures, may prove useful in deactivating and disposing of toxic materials, such as chemical weapons.
		Dr. Anfinsen was the author of 200 scientific articles and a book, The Molecular Basis of Evolution (1959), in which he described the relationships between protein chemistry and genetics and the promise those areas held for the understanding of evolution.

		Dr. Anfinsen obtained a B.A. degree from Swarthmore College in 1937 and an M.S. in organic chemistry in 1939 from the University of Pennsylvania.
		Anfinsen left Harvard in 1950 to become Chief of the Laboratory of Cellular Physiology and Metaolism in the National Heart Institute of the National Institutes of Health.
		In Anfinsen's early work, he and Steinberg studied the non-uniform labelling in newly synthesized proteins - a technique with later permitted Dintzis, Canfield and others to determine that proteins are synthesized sequentially from the amino-terminal and in vivo, and to calculate the rate at which amino acids are polymerized.

		In 1972, Anfinsen was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry on the basis of groundbreaking work in protein chemistry that he had conducted since the early 1950s.
		Anfinsen focused considerable energies on a wide range of social and political issues including nuclear disarmament, environmental depredation, and human rights abuses committed against scientists in foreign nations.

	Biographical Sketches
		Anfinsen was educated at Swarthmore College, the University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard, where he obtained his Ph.D. in 1943.
		Anfinsen, however, was more concerned with the shape and structure of the enzyme and the forces that permitted it always to adopt the same unique configuration.
		The important conclusion that Anfinsen drew from this observation was that all the information for the assembly of the three-dimensional protein must be contained in the protein's sequence of amino acids—its primary structure.

		Anfinsen "stuck out the forced inactivity for about a year," as he observed a few years later, "but finally, needing some kind of active scientific base, wrote to friends at the Johns Hopkins University." In 1982, the university offered him a senior position as Professor of Biology and Assistant to the President for Industrial Liaison.

		WE have used an immunological approach to demonstrate that the residual enzymatic activity in a large polypeptide fragment of staphylococcal nuclease is an intrinsic property of the fragment and not an artefact due to contamination with intact enzyme.
		These results are consistent with present concepts of the folding of polypeptide fragments to form structures similar to the native protein and may offer a method for the investigation of other macromolecular systems.

		Anfinsen used the protein, ribonuclease, because it was relatively small, a great deal was known about it, and its catalytic activity easily measured
		Anfinsen showed that upon restoring the conditions to those optimal for the protein will cause restoration of both structure and function --- a process called renaturation --- thus showing that the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide chain contains all the information required to fold the chain into ins native, three-dimensional structure.
		According to Anfinsen’s presentation on receiving the Nobel Prize in 1973: “The studies…..establish..the generality which we have occasionally called the ‘thermodynamic hypothesis[1]’.

		From this experiment, Anfinsen deduced that the three dimensional structure of a protein is uniquely determined by its primary sequence of amino acids.
		This disease is an example that there is not a single structure for a polypeptide chain but 2 structures, and therefore Anfinsen's theory is not always correct.
