Hartmut Michel
Hartmut Michel is director at the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics in Frankfurt am Main. He is a biochemist by education and tries to work out how membrane proteins function. These proteins are responsible for signal reception, specific transport across membranes and biological energy conversion. Michel received the Nobel Prize of Chemistry for the first determination of the atomic structure of a membrane protein in 1988, which was that of a photosynthetic reactions centre. This work elucidated the primary processes of photosynthesis, in particular the pathway of the electrons after the primary photosynthetic charge separation. He is a member of many German and foreign academies.
