12-04-2003: Nobel Laureate Hartmut Michel (Chemistry, 1988) has
accepted the invitation by the board of the German Chemical
Society (GDCh) to join Angewandte's editorial board. The
editorial board of Angewandte Chemie advises the editors on
matters regarding the content and presentation of the
journal. Its members represent the broad spectrum of
chemistry in universities, research institutes, and
industry. A. Kleemann (Asta Medica) and B. Wetzel
(Boehringer Ingelheim) have just completed their terms, and
four new members have accepted the invitation of the German
Chemical Society's Board to take up a four-year term from
January 1, 2004.
In 1988, Hartmut Michel received the Nobel Prize in
Chemistry together with J. Deisenhofer and R. Huber for the
determination of the three-dimensional structure of a
photosynthetic reaction center.[1] At the Max-Planck-
Institut (MPI) für Biophysik in Frankfurt, Germany he now
studies membrane-protein gene expression and the mode of
action of cytochrome c oxidase, which plays an essential
role as the terminal enzyme in aerobic metabolism.
Michel studied biochemistry at the Universität Tübingen and
in 1977 completed his PhD with D. Oesterhelt in Würzburg on
proton gradients at the cell membranes of halobacteria.
Shortly afterwards he began attempts to crystallize membrane
proteins, in which he succeeded in 1979. He moved with
Oesterhelt to the MPI für Biochemie and in 1981 succeeded in
crystallizing a photosynthetic reaction center. In 1987 he
became director at the MPI für Biophysik.
