<p class="MsoNormal">Marc and I performed the first sedimentation equilibrium experiments on really highly concentrated proteins (hemoglobin and myoglobin), reaching concentrations over 350 g/l [Minton & Lewis (1981) Biophys. Chem. 14: 317-324]. I believe
that this record for high concentration still stands.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Subsequently we built the first computer-based Model E absorbance scanner control and digital data acquisition system at the NIH, using an IBM AT running an early version of DOS and programming in Turbo Pascal. We had a lot of fun doing
this, including some hardware hacking on the scanner. The system was later replicated in the lab of Ed Eisenstein at CARB. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think Marc must have been at least 15 years older than me. He once invited me to play squash with him on a squash court located quite close to his laboratory in the basement of Building 35. I naively assumed that as a healthy young
adult I would have no problem competing with an old geezer like him. Wrong! While hardly moving at all, he ran me to a frazzle in short order. Age and cunning trumps youth.<o:p></o:p></p>
