  2. BC’s Early papers – A Coalescing Interest Stable Spectrophotometry of Small Density Changes Chance, B – Rev SciInstrum 1947 18(9) 601-9 The Enzyme-Substrate Compounds of Catalase and Peroxides Chance, B – Nature 1948 161 (4102) 914-7 Effects of Oxygen upon Light Absorption by Green Algae Chance, B and Strekler, B – Nature 1957 180 (4589) 749-50 Cytochrome Reactions in Chromatuim Olson, JM and Chance, B – BBA 1958 28(1) 227-8

  3. BC’s Early papers – A Coalescing Interest Creative Spectroscopist Inquisitive View into Living Systems - All Dynamic Chromophores of Living Systems were of Interest - Seminal Observations were made in several important areas - Catalyzed more research at JF and in many other laboratories Hydrogen Peroxide Driven Reactions Involving Heme Proteins Photosynthetic Systems – Light Driven Reactions Oxygen Driven Dark Reactions/Mitochondrial Reactions
