 In this Special Edition of Colloids
& Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, devoted to publication of the
Proceedings of the 11th International Symposium on Colloidal
and Molecular Electro-Optics, it seems fitting to remember Chester
T. O'Konski, Emeritus Professor of Chemistry at the University
of California, Berkeley, California. Chet was one of the founders
of the field of electro-optics and a pioneer in developing the
techniques of transient electric birefringence (TEB) and transient
electric dichroism (TED) to analyze the hydrodynamics and electrical
properties of polyions in solution.
Chet received his
Ph.D. from Northwestern University (Evanston,
Illinois) in
1948 and immediately joined the Chemistry Department
at
Berkeley, where he spent his entire career. He became Professor
Emeritus in 1991. His early work on tobacco mosaic virus with
Bruno Zimm and Art Halter led to the establishment of TEB and
TED as important methods for measuring the size and shape of
biomolecules in solution. His studies with Koshiro Yoshioda and
William Orttung led to the formulation of a theory describing
the saturation of electric birefringence in high electric fields,
which has since been used by numerous investigators to analyze
the optical and electrical anisotropies of polyions. Chet was
also interested in the history of electro-optics and described
the discovery of the Kerr effect and other early investigations
in the first chapter of the two-volume treatise Molecular
Electro-Optics, which he also edited.
Chet's work
in electro-optics led to the receipt of numerous
awards,
including a Guggenheim fellowship in 1955, a Miller Professorship
in 1960 and a Nobel guest professorship in 1970. In 1991, Chet
was awarded the first John Kerr Medal for outstanding contributions
of the development of molecular electro-optics.
