Nevertheless , protein scientists could not exclude the possibility that denaturation corresponded to a chemical change in the protein structure , a hypothesis that was considered a ( distant ) possibility until the 1950s .
Wu 's hypothesis was also advanced independently in 1936 by Mirsky and Linus Pauling .
