Dr. Henry Mantsch
Affiliation: Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada
Keywords: International science relations, molecular spectroscopy
[contact]
Henry Mantsch has revolutionized an area of physical biochemistry - infrared spectroscopic studies of biological species in aqueous media. He has demonstrated that by use of Fourier transform methods the previously insurmountable problem of absorption by water could be overcome. In applications to biological membranes he has been able to separate the contributions from molecular packing and molecular motion - a mixture which has complicated the interpretation of data obtained by other methods. The techniques developed in his laboratory are now in use throughout the world, and he is considered the premier expert in his field. In addition, he has made innovative applications of nuclear magnetic resonance in elucidating the interactions between the components of nucleic acids, and between lectins and sugars. His enthusiastic interdisciplinary spirit has catalyzed many fruitful combinations of the disciplines of biochemistry, chemistry, and physics.
In 1992 he accepted the ultimate challenge to apply infrared spectroscopy to medicine. As co-founder of the Institute for Biodiagnostics in Winnipeg, he and his team are now developing a new tool, medical infrared spectroscopy.

The research of Rudolph A. Marcus has touched upon almost every field of modern theoretical chemical kinetics. He is well known for his theory of unimolecular reactions in gases (RRKM theory) in which he shows how the rate of dissociation of isomerization of a molecule depends on its energy and relates the rate to molecular properties. He has also developed a theory for electron transfer reactions in solution (Marcus theory) in which he calculates the rates in terms of molecular and solvent properties. For these and other seminal theoretical contributions he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 1992.
