He graduated from the Chemistry Department of the same Faculty in 1952, where he learned physical aspects of molecular structure under the guid- ance of Professors Yonezo Morino and San-ichiro Mizushima. Dr. Wada started his work on biological macromolecules in Professor Paul Doty's laboratory in 1954 and stayed there until 1956, which was the most excit- ing period of the polypeptide research at Harvard. Dr. Wada received the Chemical Society Junior Award from Japan Chemical Society for his con- tribution to the physical chemistry of polypeptide solutions in 1963, and the Matsunaga Prize for his dielectric study on the a-helix in 1971. His research interest is in the regular structure and conformation transition of biological macromolecules. For these subjects his laboratory is equipped wkh highly sophisticated physical tools such as a Fourier-Transform di- electric spectrometer, quasi-elastic light scattering spectrometer, flow- dichroic spectrophotometer, and pseudorandom noise NMR spectrometer which are connected on-line to a computer for rapid analysis of data. Mikio O8Qusm, M.Sc., is on the staff of the Department of Physics, the University of Tokyo. He obtained his B.Sc. (1975) and M.Sc. (1977) from the University of Tokyo. His research interests center on liquid-like states found in partially denatured protein molecules. In Professor A. Wada's Laboratory, he has been working on physical characterization of these states and possible relationships between such states and enzyme activity. Role of Subunit Interactions in the Self-assembly of Oligomeric Proteins Jean-Renaud GAREL, Ph.D., is a professor of biochemistry at the Uni- versit6 Pierre-et-Marie Curie in Paris (France) since 1979. He graduated as an engineer from the Ecole Polytechnique in 1966 and received his doc- torate in 1971. He worked as a post-doctoral fellow at Stanford Medical School (1972-1974) before joining the Institut Pasteur where he has been studying the self-assembly of oligomeric proteins. Annie MARTEL, Ph.D., is an assistant of biochemistry at the Universit6 Pierre-et-Marie Curie since 1976. She received a degree in biochemistry in 1975 and obtained her doctorate in 1981 for her work on the resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics. During her visit to the Institut Pasteur (1981-1983), she became interested in protein folding. Klaus MULLER, Ph.D., is associated with industry since 1984. He graduat-
