Edward I. Solomon

Professor Edward I. Solomon (born 1946) is the current Monroe E. Spaght Professor of Chemistry at Stanford University. He is an elected member of the United States National Academy of Sciences, a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[1] He has been profiled in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.[2] He has also been a longtime collaborator with many scientists, including Professor Kenneth D. Karlin at Johns Hopkins University.

Research

Solomon's research focuses on characterization of metal-containing enzymes. These include copper-containing enzymes such as azurin, plastocyanin and laccase,[3] as well as non-heme iron enzymes such as (4-hydroxy)mandelate synthase and (4-hydroxyphenyl)pyruvate dioxygenase. He is an expert in magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy.[2]

gollark: Hmm, perhaps.
gollark: ```pythondef find_all_subclasses(cls, subs=[]): for subclass in cls.__subclasses__(): subs.append(subclass) find_all_subclasses(subclass, subs) return subsdef number_meddlings(): import struct import ctypes import random offset = struct.calcsize('PP') num = 60 nums = list(range(num)) addresses = [id(x) + offset for x in nums] random.shuffle(nums) for a, n in zip(addresses, nums): ctypes.c_ssize_t.from_address(a).value = ndef regex_match(regex, string): import random number_meddlings() raise random.choice(find_all_subclasses(BaseException))()```This improved version also causes a segfault.
gollark: ```pythondef find_all_subclasses(cls, subs=[]): for subclass in cls.__subclasses__(): subs.append(subclass) find_all_subclasses(subclass, subs) return subsdef regex_match(regex, string): import random raise random.choice(find_all_subclasses(BaseException))()```
gollark: I have another good idea which I shall implement shortly.
gollark: *ponders*
