Emil Thomas Kaiser (February 15, 1938 – July 18, 1988) was a Hungarian-born American biochemist.[1][2][3] Kaiser was most notable for his research of enzyme modification.[2]
He also was noted for developing new types of catalysts and for a more active form of a peptide hormone.[2]
Chicago Tribune said that Kaiser "developed a whole new approach to synthetic chemistry".[2]
Joshua Lederberg, a Nobel laureate and president of Rockefeller University in New York, said that Kaiser's research of "synthetic enzymes and other polypeptides advanced basic scientific understanding in ways that had important implications for medicine".[2]
Kaiser was the Louis Block Professor at the University of Chicago,[1] the Patrick E. and Beatrice M. Haggerty Professor at Rockefeller University,[1] a member of the National Academy of Sciences,[1] the American Academy of Arts and Sciences,[1] the National Institutes of Health[1] and the National Science Foundation.[1]
