David E. Green: a personal recollection.

David Green was a remarkable person. Endowed with a keen intellect, an insatiable curiosity about Nature, a vivid imagination, and boundless energy, he pursued a career devoted entirely to research. Over a period of four decades, he and his colleagues published nearly 700 journal articles and reviews covering a broad spectrum of enzymology and bioenergetics, and he was the author, co-author, or editor of eight books. A legion of postdoctorals and visiting investigators received training in his laboratory. History will surely record that he was one of the giants of 20th-century biochemistry.
