EspañolHERMAN BRANSON
'Herman Russell Branson' (August 14, 1914 - June 7, 1995) was an African American physicist, best known for his research on protein structure. He was a great physicist and president of two colleges.
In 1948, Branson joined Linus Pauling and Robert Corey in their research on the structure of proteins. He happened to be working under Pauling at the California Institute of Technology at the time. Branson's actual role in the discovery of the helical structure is disputed. According to the original PNAS papers, Branson is listed simply as a collaborator[1]. Many feel that Branson deserved his part of the Nobel Prize but, for whatever reason, he was excluded.
He was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African Americans.
