	Christian de Duve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		de Duve was born in Thames-Ditton, Britain, as a son of Belgian emigrants.
		De Duve was awarded the shared Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1974, together with Albert Claude and George E. Palade, for describing the structure and function of organelles in biological cells.
		De Duve proposes that peroxisomes may have been the first endosymbionts, which allowed cells to withstand the growing amounts of free molecular oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere.

		Hij was er van overtuigd dat de oplossing lag in de biochemie, en besloot ook een graad in de scheikunde te halen.
		Verder onderzoek leidde tot de identificatie van een nieuw celorganel dat in 1955 de naam lysosoom kreeg.

		De Duve's discovery of lysosomes arose out of his research on the enzymes involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates by the liver.
		De Duve reasoned that the acid phosphatase was enclosed within the cell in some kind of membranous envelope that formed a self-contained organelle.
		De Duve's discovery of lysosomes answered the question of how the powerful enzymes used by cells to digest nutrients are kept separate from other cell components.

	In the News: Christain deDuve Lectures on the Origins and Evolution of Life at UCSD
		De Duve, who won the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1974 for discoveries concerning the structural and functional organization of the cell, titled his lecture, "Reflections on the origins and evolution of life." This was the 3rd talk sponsored by NSCORT--2 years ago Freeman Dyson spoke on the origins of life.
		De Duve's lecture was very interesting, as he started off by saying that most of his life he's been a research biochemist, but only in the last few years has he become an "armchair" theorist with regards to the origins of life.
		De Duve is convinced that all of the necessary origins of life prebiotics could have come from outer space.

	KNAW > The Heineken Prizes > Laureates
		Christian de Duve was awarded the prize for his discovery of the cell organelles called the lysosome and peroxisome.
		De Duve postulated that the enzyme was surrounded by a membrane which prevented it from affecting the other cell components.
		De Duve has not only discovered the lysosome but also the peroxisome, another cell particle in which a number of enzymes can be localized, although the activity of these is not latent as it is in the lysosomal enzymes.

		More recently, de Duve has devoted his interests to the nature, origin, history, and future of life, and to their philosophical aspects.

	Vital Dust - Life as a Cosmic Imperative: ARN Book Review
		De Duve is himself a determinist about the origin of life and its subsequent evolution.
		Thus, parts I to III are de Duve's argument for the relative ease of prebiotic and "protocell" evolution, parts IV to VI from the single cell to human intelligence, and part VII, evolution into the unknown (including, in a philosophical coda, the meaning of life).
		In particular, de Duve's scenario for the origin of life, in which "protometabolism" produces the materials necessary for the RNA world of the first self-replicating molecules, is, he admits, "purely conjectural" (p.

		De Duve then spends few chapters on paving the way from a pre biotic world to one that is dominated by protocells.
		De Duve does not really discuss why he believes this is the case, other than it must be because this is what we have now.
		De Duve's final appeal is that "something positive must be proposed that can eventually replace the myths propagated by religion." God does not exist, but we need "spiritual guides" to provide ethics and morals.

		The aim of the new institute was to favour the use in biomedical research of the dramatic advances accomplished in the course of the last decades in the main fields of basic biology.
		The remaining area existed only in brick-and-mortar form, and it was left to the founders to find the means to complete the space and finance the new teams who would occupy it.
