Grisham was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and educated at Benilde High School. He received his B.S. in chemistry from the Illinois Institute of Technology in 1969 and his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Minnesota in 1973. Following a postdoctoral appointment at the Institute for Cancer Research in Philadelphia, he joined the faculty of the University of Virginia, where he is Professor of Chemistry. He is the author of previous editions of Biochemistry and Principles of Biochemistry (Cengage, Brooks/Cole), and numerous papers and review articles on active transport of sodium, potassium, and calcium in mammalian systems, on protein kinase C, and on the applications of NMR and EPR spectroscopy to the study of biological systems. He has also authored Interactive Biochemistry CD-ROM and Workbook, a tutorial CD for students. His work has been supported by the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the Muscular Dystrophy Associa￾tion of America, the Research Corporation, the American Heart Association, and the American Chemical Society. He is a Research Career Development Awardee of the National Institutes of Health, and in 1983 and 1984 he was a Visiting Scientist at the Aarhus University Institute of Physiology Denmark. In 1999, he was Knapp Professor of Chemistry at the University of San Diego. He has taught biochemistry, introductory chemistry, and physical chemistry at the University of Virginia for more than 40 years. He is a member of the American Society for Biochemis￾try and Molecular Biology. Reginald H. Garrett was educated in the Baltimore city public schools and at the Johns Hopkins University, where he received his Ph.D. in biology in 1968. Since that time, he has been at the University of Virginia, where he is currently Professor Emeritus of Biology. He is the author of previous editions of Biochemis￾try, as well as Principles of Biochemistry (Cengage, Brooks/Cole), and numerous papers and review articles on the biochemical, genetic, and molecular biological aspects of inorganic nitrogen metabolism. His research interests focused on the pathway of nitrate assimilation in filamentous fungi. His investigations con￾tributed substantially to our understanding of the enzymology, genetics, and regulation of this major pathway of biological nitrogen acquisition. More recently, he has collaborated in systems approaches to the metabolic basis of nutrition-related diseases. His research has been supported by the National Insti￾tutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and private industry. He is a former Fulbright Scholar at the Universität für Bodenkultur in Vienna, Austria and served as Visiting Scholar at the University of Cambridge on two separate occasions. During the second, he was Thomas Jefferson Visiting Fellow in Downing College. In 2003, he was Professeur Invité at the Université Paul Sabatier/Toulouse III and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Institute for Pharmacology and Structural Biology in France. He taught biochemistry at the University of Virginia for 46 years. He is a member of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Charles M. Grisham and Reginald H.
