Harriette Chick

Dame Harriette Chick, DBE (January 6 1875 - July 9 1977) was a notable British protein scientist and nutritionist. She served as secretary of the League of Nations health section committee on the physiological bases of nutrition from 1934 to 1937. In 1941 she was a founding member of the Nutrition Society, of which she served as president from 1956 to 1959. She died at the age of 102.

Chick and C. J. Martin discovered that the process of protein denaturation was distinct from protein coagulation (or flocculation), beginning the modern understanding of protein folding.
