John E. Walker is an English scientist who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1997 for his research on the structure and function of the enzyme ATP synthase. His work has greatly advanced the understanding of how energy is produced and utilized in cells. Walker's contributions to biochemistry and molecular biology have had a significant impact on the field.
"These studies resulted eventually in a complete sequence analysis of the complex from several species, and in the atomic resolution structure of the F catalytic domain of the enzyme from bovine mitochondria, giving new insights into how ATP is made in the biological world."
"In 1960, I went to St. Catherine's College, Oxford, and received the B.A. degree in Chemistry in 1964."
