American biochemist who taught that the cell is not 'a bag of enzymes'. He was likely the first to comprehend that enzyme concentrations in living cells are much greater than were being used in a typical laboratory enzyme assay. This required revising the existing ideas of enzyme function in a real cell.

Given a large mass of data, we can by judicious selection construct perfectly plausible unassailable theories—all of which, some of which, or none of which may be right.
— Paul Arnold Srere
I-Ching and the citric acid cycle. Unpublished manuscript/seminar notes quoted in Frederick Grinnell, Everyday Practice of Science (2008), 86.
In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
(1987) --
