Anatole A.
Klyosov (born 20 November 1946 in Chernyakhovsk, Kaliningrad Oblast of Russian SFSR) is a scientist who worked in the fields of physical chemistry, enzyme catalysis, and industrial biochemistry.
In 1989 Klyosov immigrated to the US.
He spent most of his career developing ways to use enzymes to convert agricultural waste products into useful products — first to convert cotton waste to glucose in the USSR, and later in the US, turning paper mill waste into useful products.
He later helped found a company, and later joined it as CSO, that was founded to use enzymes to alter existing anticancer drugs via glycosylation.
In 2008 he began publishing work about what he calls "DNA genealogy" that has been dismissed as pseudoscience.
