Abstract
In this issue of Analytical Biochemistry, we honor the life and legacy of Arthur Joseph Lawrence Cooper (1946–2024). Born in London, Arthur made pioneering contributions to medical science, particularly in understanding the role of glutamine in the brain and cancer cell metabolism. His research revealed how glutamine supports neurotransmitter synthesis, energy production, and ammonia detoxification, as well as its critical role in cancer cell growth. His work has greatly advanced both neuroscience and cancer biology, offering insights that could lead to new therapeutic strategies targeting glutamine metabolism.
