In this issue of the journal, we feature two articles—one by Tadashi Inagami and the other by Pierre Corvol and Joel Menard—relating the story of the purification of renin. These investigators received the 1985 CIBA Award for Hypertension Research for biochemical studies leading to the isolation, amino acid structural and three-dimensional configuration, and the physiochemical and immunochemical characterization of renin in humans and other species. We are pleased to feature the views of two distinguished groups on this subject, and hope the readers of the journal find their reminiscences and thoughts for the future of interest.
