James Bassham

James Bassham

James A. Bassham was born in Sacramento, California, November 26, 1922. He received a B.S. degree in chemistry in 1945 from the University of California and his Ph.D. degree in 1949. His graduate studies were on the subject of carbon reduction during photosynthesis, working with Melvin Calvin in the Bio-Organic Chemistry Group of the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at the University of California. He continued his work a Associate Director of this group.

Besides his work on the basic carbon reduction cycle of photosynthesis, James Bassham has conducted research on the biosynthetic paths leading from the cycle to the thermodynamics and kinetics of the carbon paths and the factors that control the flow of material and energy in this metabolic network. He is coauthor (with Melvin Calvin) of "The Path of Carbon in Photosynthesis".
