HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL I was born on September 30, 1943 in Zusamaltheim, Bavaria, now Federal Republic of Germany, as the first son of Thekla and Johann Deisenhofer. After my father's return from military service my parents ran the family farm. In 1948, our family grew to its final size with the birth of my only sister, Antonie. Robert Huber At the end of 1974, when I had obtained my Ph.D. degree, Robert Huber offered me a postdoctoral position for two years which I accepted. This position was converted into a permanent position in 1976. I joined Peter M. Colman, then a postdoctoral fellow in Huber's lab, and Walter Palm from the University of Graz, Austria, in their work on the human myeloma protein Kol. After the solution of this interesting structure, I continued, together with Robert Huber, Peter Colman's work on the human Fc-fragment, and its complex with an Fc-binding fragment from protein A from Staphylococcus aureus . The refinement of these structures was finished in 1980. In the following two years I joined several projects in Robert Huber's lab: human C3a, citrate synthase, and alpha-1 -proteinase inhibitor. During all my time in Martinsried I enjoyed working with computers, and developing and maintaining crystallographic software. In 1982, Hartmut Michel, who had come to Martinsried together with Dieter Oesterhelt, reported in one of Huber's group seminars about his spectacular success with the crystallization of the photosynthetic reaction center from

Deisenhofer, Johann (b. Sept. 30, 1943, Zusamaltheim, Ger.), German biochemist who, along with Hartmut Michel and Robert Huber , received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1988 for their determination of the structure of certain proteins that are essential to photosynthesis. Deisenhofer earned his doctorate from the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry in Martinsried, W.Ger., in 1974. He conducted research there until 1987, when he joined the scientific staff at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Dallas, Texas. Together with Michel and Huber, Deisenhofer set out to study the structure of a protein complex found in certain photosynthetic bacteria. This protein, called a photosynthetic reaction centre, was known to play a crucial role in initiating a simple type of photosynthesis. Between 1982 and 1985, the three scientists used X-ray crystallography to determine the exact arrangement of the more than 10,000 atoms that make up the protein complex. Their research increased the general understanding of the mechanisms of photosynthesis and revealed similarities between the photosynthetic processes of plants and bacteria.

Their main experimental tool is x-ray crystallography. Structural Biology of Cholesterol Homeostasis Molecular mechanisms involved in cholesterol control have been a major interest of my research group. This interest has been greatly stimulated by the research of Michael S. Brown and Joseph L. Goldstein (University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas) and their colleagues, with whom we have had a long-standing and fruitful collaboration. Cholesterol is an essential component of our cell membranes. The human liver is capable of producing all the cholesterol we need, but those of us consuming a typical Western diet get about one-third of our cholesterol from food. The liver packages cholesterol and cholesteryl esters into lipoproteins for distribution throughout the body. The predominant form in the bloodstream is the low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which in addition to cholesterol and cholesteryl esters, contains phospholipids, triglycerides, and one copy of apolipoprotein B. Our first result in this area was the work of Eva Istvan, who determined the structure of the catalytic portion of human HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that catalyzes a crucial step in the body's own cholesterol production. This protein is the target of drugs, commonly known as statins, that inhibit the enzyme and thus help millions of people to reduce elevated levels of cholesterol and significantly reduce the probability of atherosclerosis and heart disease. Our results showed that the active site of the human enzyme is surprisingly different from that of the enzyme from the bacterium
