Series 2 General Research Files 1947-1997

Physical Description: Cartons 4-7

Arrangement

Arranged as received.

Scope and Content Note

The General Research Files include papers relating to Professor Rabinowitz's work in the field of biochemistry. In addition to his own research, Rabinowitz also collected the work of his colleagues. Reprints of published papers, correspondence, and notes are included. Major research topics covered include: enzymology, purine fermentation, folic acid coenzymes, clostridial ferredoxin, formyltetrahydrofolate sythetase, iron-sulfur proteins, and protein synthesis. Research conducted prior to 1963 is not found in this collection. Much of the material is undated. Also included are applications and materials related to grant work. Reprints represent over 50 years of published scientific articles authored by Rabinowitz. Major subjects of the articles include: the vitamin B6 group; purine fermentation by clostridium cylindrosporum; folic acid; Vitamin B12; protein synthesis; and clostridial ferredoxin. Coauthors include Esmond Snell, W.E. Pricer, Richard Malkin, J.-S. Hong, Norman Curthoys, Charles E. Samuel, Ann S. Delk, Cheryl L. Murray, and Dean Appling.

Rabinowitz's Personal Papers present a view of his interests in various associations, clubs, music, Scottish dance, travel, and more. There is a small amount of correspondence relating to his family. Also in this series is miscellaneous correspondence, including retirement letters and postcards to and from the Biochemistry lab. Travel Files contain material relating to Rabinowitz's personal travels across the world. He spent several sabbaticals in Paris, and vacationed in Japan, Guatemala, and Egypt among other countries. Of particular significance is the file entitled Travel Chronology; it provides a chronological list of the trips that Rabinowitz took from 1963-1994.

Arrangement

Arranged as received.

Scope and Content Note

Laboratory and other miscellaneous personal photographs are found in this series. Of particular interest are photographs of the 1955 team of National Institute of Health scientists: Bruce Ames, Leon Heppel, and Bill Pricer, among others. Included are a collection of largely unidentified negatives and slides. In addition, there are photo prints of Rabinowitz's 1987 laboratory team, the 1945 University of Wisconsin Biochemistry Department, and the 1949 Enzyme Research Institute team. A number of the negatives appear to be of the 1963 Barker Hall construction on the University of California, Berkeley campus. Although Rabinowitz was an amateur travel photographer, this collection does not represent these pursuits. Rabinowtiz's extensive personal slide collection may be found at the McHenry Library of University of California, Santa Cruz.
