Cossell

German organic chemist. He studied medicine at the University of Strasbourg, and in 1877 became assistant to F. Hoppe-Seyler, a physiological chemist at the same university. He obtained his medical doctorate in 1878. He then went on to study at the University of Berlin and the University of Marburg, before becoming a professor at the University of Heidelberg in 1901. In 1924 he directed the Heidelberg Protein Research Institute. He began research on nuclear proteins in 1879, demonstrating that they are made up of proteins and nucleic acids, and discovering that nucleic acids have the components (bases) adenine, thymine, cytosine, and uracil. He later discovered histidine, agmatine, and other elements. For his contributions to protein and nucleic acid research, he received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1910. He was also awarded honorary doctorates by the University of Cambridge, the University of Dublin, and other universities. It was his son, Walther Kossel (1888-1956), a physicist, who pointed out the stability of the electron configuration of rare gases.
