Edward Adelbert Doisy (November 13, 1893 – October 23, 1986)[1] was an American biochemist. He received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1943 with Henrik Dam for their discovery of vitamin K (K from "Koagulations-Vitamin" in German) and its chemical structure.

Doisy was born in Hume, Illinois, on November 13, 1893. He completed his A.B. degree in 1914 and his M.S. degree in 1916 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He completed his Ph.D. in 1920 from Harvard University.[1]

In 1919 he accepted a faculty appointment in the Department of Biochemistry at Washington University in St. Louis, where he rose in rank to associate professor. In 1923, he moved to Saint Louis University as professor and chairman of the new Department of Biochemistry. He served as professor and chairman of that department until he retired in 1965. Saint Louis University renamed the department the E.A. Doisy Department of Biochemistry, in his honor.[1] More recently, the department has again been renamed. It is now known as the E.A. Doisy Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

In 1940, he was a lecturer in medicine at the University of Chicago School of Medicine.[2]

He also competed with Adolf Butenandt in the discovery of estrone in 1930. They discovered the substance independently,[1] but only Butenandt was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1939.

Doisy was elected to the United States National Academy of Sciences in 1938,[3] the American Philosophical Society in 1942,[4] and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1948.[5]

Lifting-line theory

Mathematical model to quantify lift The Lanchester-Prandtl lifting-line theory[1] is a mathematical model in aerodynamics that predicts lift distribution over a three-dimensional wing from the wing's geometry.[2] The theory was expressed independently[3] by Frederick W. Lanchester in 1907,[4] and by Ludwig Prandtl in 1918–1919[5] after working with Albert Betz and Max Munk. In this model, the vortex bound to the wing develops along the whole wingspan ...
