Harvey Itano Papers, 1946 - 2000

http://www.oac.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/kt096nc5tc

Papers of Harvey Itano, American biochemist and pioneer in the study of sickle cell anemia hematology. The collection documents Itano's research on sickle cell anemia disease and his work in the field of molecular medicine focusing on understanding of genetic and molecular basis of blood pathologies and hereditary diseases. The papers contains Itano's research and writings, reprints of his publications in scientific journals, and laboratory notebooks. Of special interest are notebooks documenting his electrophoresis experiments that led to the discovery of difference in electrophoretic mobility between normal and sickle cell hemoglobins and allowed him to explain the cause of the disease on a molecular basis. Also included is his professional correspondence with colleagues in the field of molecular medicine, especially letters from Linus Pauling dating from 1946 to 1986. The papers are arranged in five series: 1) MISCELLANEOUS MATERIALS, 2) CORRESPONDENCE, 3) NOTEBOOKS, 4) WRITINGS BY ITANO, and 5) LINUS PAULING -- MISCELLANEOUS MATERIALS.
