Finn Wold (February 3, 1928 – April 14, 1997) was a Norwegian-American biochemist known for the elucidation of structure-function relationships of proteins. Wold was a pioneer in the use of reagents to measure and decipher the structures of proteins. He reported one of the first examples of a transition state analogue, and was at the forefront of the design and use of affinity labels.[1]
Education
Wold received a B.S. in chemistry from the
Career
After postdoctoral work at Berkeley, Wold joined the Chemistry Department at the
Wold helped to found the Protein Society, a not-for-profit scholarly society for scientists involved in the study of protein structure, function, and design. He served as the organization's second president from 1989-1991, and helped launch the journal Protein Science.[5] He also served as an elected officer or councilor for the American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the Biological Chemistry Division of the American Chemical Society, and the Journal of Biological Chemistry and Biochemistry.[6]
