מלווין קלווין

[[מעגל קלווין]]
מלווין קלווין (באנגלית: Melvin Calvin; ) היה כימאי יהודי אמריקאי, שזכה בפרס נובל לכימיה. 

נולד במינסוטה שבארצות הברית להורים יהודים, שהיגרו מרוסיה. היה נשוי לג'נביב ימטגארד, ולהם שתי בנות ובן.

==השכלה ופעילות==
השתלם באוניברסיטת מינסוטה. במלחמת העולם השנייה עבד במסגרת הצוות שפיתח את הפצצה האטומית ("פרויקט מנהטן"). נתמנה פרופסור לכימיה ב-1947 באוניברסיטת קליפורניה בברקלי. בשנת 1961 קיבל פרס נובל לכימיה על חשיפת תהליך הפוטוסינתזה בצמחים באמצעות האיזוטופ הרדיואקטיבי פחמן 14. התגלית שלו, מעגל קלווין הוא מסלול מטבולי המתרחש בצמחים וברוב מיני החיידקים הפוטוסינתטיים.
