Charles Tanford (1920-2016) was an American biophysical chemist known for his contributions to the study of proteins and the physicochemical properties of biological systems. He made significant advancements in understanding protein folding, stability, and interactions. Tanford is also notable for his work on the hydrophobic effect, which describes how nonpolar substances aggregate in aqueous solutions, a key concept in biochemistry and molecular biology.
