OK, but three is not very many and the US is quite big. Is there any
other active field in biochemistry with as few as three groups in the
US? Actually I'm not sure if Barbara Wright would describe herself as
"working on MCA". She seemed quite hostile the last time I checked:
metabolic modelling, certainly, but metabolic control analysis?
Metabolic modelling was practically invented in the US (though to be
honest I don't remember if the Garfinkel/Hess connection arose because
Hess was in the US or because Garfinkel was in Germany), and even
metabolic control analysis owed quite a lot to Joe Higgins, also in
Philadelphia. Yet...
