Abstract
Elkan R. Blout's laboratory at the Children's Cancer Research Foundation and Harvard Medical School pioneered many approaches to the synthesis, conformation and structural studies of polypeptides, biopolymers and selected proteins. Here the early days (1957–1972) of his research group are remembered. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Biopolymers 89: 336–337, 2008.
