Ignacio "Nacho" Tinoco Jr. (November 22, 1930 – November 15, 2016) was a Professor of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley from 1956 to 2016.[1][2][3]

Ignacio Tinoco received a bachelor's degree from the University of New Mexico in 1951, and a Ph.D. in physical chemistry at the University of Wisconsin, Madison in 1954.[4] He was a postdoctoral fellow with John G. Kirkwood at Yale University from 1954 to 1956.[4] He joined the University of California, Berkeley as a faculty member in 1956, where he was professor in the graduate school and a faculty senior scientist, physical biosciences division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He was chairman of the chemistry department (1979–82).[5]

He is known for his pioneering work on RNA folding and the secondary structures of ribonucleic acid.[6][7][8] His graduate and postdoctoral students include Carlos Bustamante and Frances Arnold.[6]

His honors and awards include: Guggenheim Fellow, Medical Research Council Laboratory, Cambridge (1964); California Section Award, American Chemical Society (1965); D.Sc. University of New Mexico (1972); Member, National Academy of Sciences (1985); Elisabeth R. Cole Award (Founders Award), Biophysical Society (1996);[9] Berkeley Citation, University of California (1996); Member, American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2001); Emily M. Gray Award, Biophysical Society (2006); Fellow: American Physical Society, Biophysical Society.

He died on November 15, 2016, at the age of 85.[2]

The Biophysical Society gives the Ignacio Tinoco Award in his honor.[10]
