Each week, we highlight a historic or famous person named James. This week's famous James is:

James Batcheller Sumner

(born November 19, 1887 - died August 12, 1955) American biochemist and Nobel Prize winner. He studied chemistry and graduated from Harvard College in 1910. Sumner obtained his Ph.D. degree in 1914 despite others' disbelief that he could succeed in chemistry with only one arm (his left arm was amputated when he was 17, after a hunting companion accidentally shot him). He then taught biochemistry at Cornell University, where he began his work in isolating enzymes. He was the first person to isolate an enzyme in crystallized form; he also was first to prove that an enzyme is a protein. For his work with enzymes, Sumner shared the 1946 Nobel Prize in chemistry with fellow American biochemists John H. Northrop and Wendell M. Stanley.

The name "James" is the English equivalent of Jacob; the first Jacob in the Bible was the patriarch of the 12 tribes of Israel. "James" is consistently among the most popular names for boys in the U.S.

Plural form of James: According to the Carnegie Mellon Style Guide, "Form plurals of family names that end in 's' by adding 'es.'  Right: The Jameses live in Edgewood."  See also StackExchange.com.
