Franz Hofmeister
Franz Hofmeister (30 August 1850, in
Prague – 26 July 1922, in
Würzburg) was an early protein scientist, and is famous for his studies of salts that influence the solubility and conformational stability of
proteins. In 1902, Hofmeister became the first to propose that polypeptides were
amino acids linked by
peptide bonds, although this model of protein
primary structure was independently and simultaneously conceived by
Emil Fischer.
