The Rockefeller

Abstract

I don't know how to bring in Benesch, since I never formally worked with him. I hung around his lab a lot, and since he had little intellectual arrogance but was very selfcentered, we tended to talk about his experiments rather than mine. Thatls how I came to ask him why O2 uptake was always done in phosphate rather than Tris, and that's how I came to ask him how much Pi was in the red cell anyway, which made him look it up, hence DPG. He always gave me credit for the suggestion (generous), but I would hate to arrogate any, especially now that he is dead, and Ruth is very sensitive. If you have any suggestion as to how, without being offensive, or grabby, please make it.
