  • Stanford Moore
  • Stanford Moore (September 4, 1913–August 23, 1982) was a U.S. biochemist. He shared a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1972, for work done at Rockefeller University on the structure of the enzyme ribonuclease and for contributing to the understanding of the connection between the chemical structure and catalytic activity of the ribonuclease molecule.

    He earned his doctorate in Organic Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1938.
    He became Professor of Biochemistry in 1952.
    In 1958 he and William H. Stein developed the first automated amino acid analyzer, which facilitated the determination of protein sequences.
    In 1959 Moore and Stein announced the first determination of the complete amino acid sequence of an enzyme, ribonuclease, work which was cited in the Nobel award.
