Ariel Fernandez (born Ariel Fernández Stigliano, April 8, 1957) is an Argentinian–American physical chemist.
Early life, education and early career
Fernandez received a Licenciado degree in Mathematics from the Universidad Nacional del Sur, Argentina. He then earned a Ph.D. from Yale University in 1984 with a thesis entitled Structural Stability of Chemical Systems at Critical Regimes and was a senior researcher in the division of Nobel laureate Manfred Eigen at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen, Germany. He held the Karl F. Hasselmann Professorship of Bioengineering at Rice University. He is a member of the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) in Argentina.
Career
Fernandez developed the concept of the dehydron, a structural feature in a protein consisting of an intramolecular hydrogen bond incompletely shielded from attack by water in the protein's solvation shell. Dehydrons cause "epistructural tension" in proteins and thus promote protein–protein interactions and protein–ligand associations.
Awards
Fernandez was awarded the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Distinguished New Faculty in 1989; the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar in 1991; a Guggenheim fellowship in 1995; and is an Elected Fellow, American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (2006).
