2004

Hartmut Michel (*1948)
Frankfurt, GER

Biochemist. Fundamental works on channel proteins (ion channels) receptors, and structure-function relations of membrane proteins. Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1988 for elucidating the threedimensional structure of the photosynthetic reaction center of purple bacteria. In 1982 he succeeded in transforming the photosynthetic reaction center in a crystalline form for X-ray structure analysis.

2001

Herman D. Suit (*1929)
Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Biochemist. Pionieering experimental and clinical research to improve the treatment of tumors, in particular under the use of biological methods and modern radiation quality. Here Suit developed methods for neutron and proton irradiation of malignant tumors, which were considered resistant to radiation and chemotherapy in space.
