Harvey Itano used electrophoresis to demonstrate the difference between normal hemoglobin and sickle cell hemoglobin in collaboration with a chemist born in what year?
Harvey Itano Harvey Akio Itano (November 3, 1920 – May 8, 2010) was an American biochemist best known for his work on the molecular basis of sickle cell anemia and other diseases. In collaboration with Linus Pauling, Itano used electrophoresis to demonstrate the difference between normal hemoglobin and sickle cell hemoglobin; their 1949 paper "Sickle Cell Anemia, a Molecular Disease" (coauthored also with S. J. Singer and Ibert C. Wells) was a landmark in both molecular medicine and protein electrophoresis.
Hal Dixon (biochemist) Dr Henry Berkeley Franks Dixon D.Sc. (16 May 1928 – 30 July 2008), known as Hal Dixon, was a biochemist and Life Fellow of King's College Cambridge. Born in Dublin, the youngest son of Henry Horatio Dixon, he was interested in science from a young age; his discovery of an optical illusion arising from binocular vision was described by his father in Nature Magazine when he was only nine years old.
