Show l20 absolute rate theory to relate structure and conformation to various biological functions. In l97l, Eyring and Dr. Dennis Caldwell published this theory and some applications in The Theory of Optical Activity with John Wiley and Sons as publisher. As with his theory of liquids, his theory of optical activity has not been universally accepted, but is still influential.82 Eyring's years at Utah elaborated the work he started at Princeton in a marvelous way and in some areas he has opened up entirely new avenues of scientific research. His influence was large at Princeton, but his long tenure at Utah has extended this influence even further. His absolute rate theory has been one of the most powerful influences in twentieth century science. Eyring's brilliant mind, energetic life- style, and remarkable personality make it easy to understand his profound influence and the worldwide recognition he has received. |
