| Professor Murray Goodman was a leading peptide scientist during a career that spanned more than fifty years. Early work from his laboratory made seminal contributions to understanding helix formation in polypeptides and racemization during peptide coupling reactions. Murray was noted for the breadth of his interests and his research branched out to include peptides as materials, peptides as sweeteners, peptides as drug carriers and peptidomimetics as potential therapeutics. He was active until his sudden passing, and until that time continued to contribute new reagents, new spectroscopic approaches and novel peptides to his chosen field. Murray was a passionate advocate of peptide chemistry and was a leader of his discipline serving as President of the American Peptide Society and training ~85 doctoral students and over 200 postdoctorates. He was a sought after counselor and a patient advisor to many generations of peptide scientists. This talk will review his research, his leadership role in peptide science and his relationships with other scientists during his distinguished career. |
