Moving Through Barriers in Science and Life

Abstract

This first serious attempt at an autobiographical accounting has forced me to sit still long enough to compile my thoughts about a long personal and scientific journey. I especially hope that my trajectory will be of interest and perhaps beneficial to much younger women who are just getting started in their careers. To paraphrase from Virginia Woolf's writings in at the beginning of the 20th century, “for most of history Anonymous was a Woman.” However, Ms. Woolf is also quoted as saying “nothing has really happened until it has been described,” a harbinger of the enormous historical changes that were about to be enacted and recorded by women in the sciences and other disciplines. The progress in my chosen field of study—the chemical basis of enzyme action—has also been remarkable, from the first description of an enzyme's 3D structure to a growing and deep understanding of the origins of enzyme catalysis.

Keyword(s): autobiography, novel redox cofactors, origins of enzyme catalysis, oxygen activation, quantum tunneling
