在世纪的前几十年,光合作用的过程仍然是一个谜:植物科学家能够测量进入和离开植物的东西,但对发生的中间生化和生物物理过程知之甚少。这种状况在两次世界大战之间开始改变,当时欧洲和美国的一些年轻科学家,他们都认同物理化学生物学的方法和目标,选择光合作用作为研究主题。这些研究者有很多共同点:他们都对物理和化学(虽然不一定是植物生理学)有很高的研究水平;他们使用物理化学方法来研究生命的基本过程;他们相信这些过程在所有生命形式中都是相同或非常相似的;他们都隶属于促进这种研究的机构。这套认知、方法和物质资源使这些研究者能够将他们的概念和技术知识从微生物学和人类生物化学转移到植物代谢研究中。这些知识的转移对光合作用的生物化学和生物物理学的研究方式产生了巨大的影响。通过四个历史案例,本文分析了这些知识转移,以及使之成为可能的调查途径。
In the first decades of the twentieth century, the process of photosynthesis was still a mystery: Plant scientists were able to measure what entered and left a plant, but little was known about the intermediate biochemical and biophysical processes that took place. This state of affairs started to change between the two world wars, when a number of young scientists in Europe and the United States, all of whom identified with the methods and goals of physicochemical biology, selected photosynthesis as a topic of research. The protagonists had much in common: They had studied physics and chemistry (although not necessarily plant physiology) to a high level; they used physicochemical methods to study the basic processes of life; they believed these processes were the same, or very similar, in all life forms; and they were affiliated with institutions that fostered this kind of study. This set of cognitive, methodological, and material resources enabled these protagonists to transfer their knowledge of the concepts and techniques from microbiology and human biochemistry, for example, to the study of plant metabolism. These transfers of knowledge had a great influence on the way in which the biochemistry and biophysics of photosynthesis would be studied over the following decades. Through the use of four historical cases, this paper analyzes these knowledge transfers, as well as the investigative pathways that made them possible.
