		Jens Skou was born on October 8, 1918 in Lemvig, a small town in Denmark.
		In 1963 Skou was appointed as the chairman of the Physiology Department.
		Skou learned about this ion transport while he was studying nerves and their response to anesthesia.

	AU: Jens Christian Skou - Nobel Laureate (sectiona)
		Jens Christian Skou believed that it must be due to brief alterations in the structure of proteins in the membrane.
		Jens Christian Skou was thrown into a level of scientific activity and a scientific environment vastly different from that which he had experienced in Aarhus, and the visit made a great impression on him.
		In 1956 Jens Christian Skou wrote the article describing his experiments with crab nerves, and put forward the idea that the ATP-splitting enzyme was a part of the sodium pump, or even constituted the sodium pump in its entirety.

		At some point Skou realized that a phospholipid monolayer is similar to one half of the cell membrane, and that is why it could be used as a model of the water lipid interface of the cell membrane; the cell membrane is a double layer of phospholipids.
		Skou thought it was possible that the local anaesthetic—by the pressure increase—blocked the opening of the membrane for sodium, thereby stopping the influx of sodium and, consequently, the initiation of the nerve impulse.
		Skou thought that a protein—through a change in its conformation—was responsible for opening the nerve membrane for sodium and that the local anaesthetic, by penetrating into the membrane, blocked the conformational change.

		Skou had taken a few years away from his clinical training in the early 1950s to study the action of local anaesthetics.
		Skou thought that other types of membrane protein might also be affected by local anaesthetics dissolving in the lipid part of the membrane.
		At this stage Skou was unaware that ouabain inhibited the pump, but he immediately telephoned to his lab and arranged for the experiment to be done.

	Jens Christian Skou: The 1997 Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry
		The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the 1997 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with one half to Professor Jens Christian Skou, University of Aarhus, Denmark for the first discovery of an ion-transporting enzyme, the Na -ATPase.
		Professor Skou made his pioneer work at the Department of Physiology, University of Aarhus, where Professor Skou was employed as an assistant professor in 1947 and from 1963 as a full professor until he in 1978 was nominated to become the professor of biophysics at this university without advertising the post.
		This observation, as well as some other characteristics of the system, suggest that the adenosine triphosphatase studied here may be involved in the active extrusion of sodium from the nerve fibre.

	Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Skou created the first scheme of the enzyme operation and described the properties of the phosphorylated intermediate.
		Skou never was the formal head of this branch of bioenergetics, but he was interpreted as a center of intellectual attraction.
		In May of 1991, probably the most difficult period for Russian science, Skou was the guest of Moscow State University and gave a lecture for the staff and students of the Department of Biochemistry.

		In 1997, Emeritus Professor Jens Christian Skou was awarded the Nobel Prize for the discovery of the sodium-potassium pump.
		It was only after further research and experiments, which showed how the pump functioned, that Jens Christian Skou was able, in 1965, to write a concluding article, after which the discovery received the attention it merited.
		What characterises Jens Christian Skou is that – then as now – he is always incredibly interested in the things with which he is involved.

	Bjorn Lomborg
		One of the people who brought the charges against Lomborg to the DCSD is Jeff Harvey, a former editor of the scientific journal Nature, who is currently a Senior Scientist at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology.
		Among the supporters of the DCSD's decision regarding Lomborg are the Nobel prizewinning chemist Jens Christian Skou, former University rector Kjeld Møllgård, and professor at Danmarks Technical University Poul Harremoës.

	The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1997 - Presentation Speech
		In 1957, Jens Christian Skou discovered an enzyme called sodium, potassium ATPase (or Na -ATPase), which maintains the right ion balance in living cells.
		This is a process that requires a lot of energy, and up to one third of the ATP formed in the body may be used to drive the Na pump.
		Skou's discovery clearly illustrates the unpredictability of basic research - in 1957, no one could have imagined that his somewhat odd experiments, which consisted of studying the effects of various salts on tissue from a shore crab, would be important 40 years later to industrial operations and the production of new pharmaceuticals.

		Jens Christian Skou се смета дека претставува основоположник на биоенергетиката.
		Skou ја создал и првата шема според која ензимот делува, како и својствата на фосфорилираните интермедијари.

		The other half of the prize money goes to Skou, who discovered an enzyme that works with ATP to regulate the concentration of sodium and potassium inside a cell.
		The 1996 Nobel prize for chemistry was awarded for the discovery of ``buckyballs,'' a type of soccer ball-shaped carbon molecule that spawned a new field of study.

	Pioneers in Biology
		The good standing of the university was of course further enhanced in 1997, when professor emeritus Jens Christian Skou received the Nobel Prize in chemistry.
		They have all of them had the experience of being pioneers within their special fields, which are as diverse as African chimpanzees, retroviral infections, evolutionary and ecological systems, and the sodium-potassium pump.
		One could argue, however, that that proves the core of academic traditions: research seen as a voyage of discovery towards new goals and new understandings, no matter which opinions and conceptions you carry along.

		The miracles at the spring were, however, not mentioned in writing until after the reformation, during the reign of King Christian IV (1588—1648), who used the water himself and had it examined for potential medicinal properties.
		Late in the 18th century the use of the springwater was abandoned, whilst the market, which was held there at midsummer, continued for many years after.

		It is the sodium pump in mammalian cell membranes that achieves this physiological imbalance of univalent cations.
		It was Jens Christian Skou, the Nobel laureate 1997, who first described in 1957 the existence of the sodium pump.
		This pump is essential in maintaining the membrane potential of living cells, to energize the transport of organic solutes by sodium symporters in epithelial cells and to indirectly regulate intracellular pH and Ca concentration (Figure 1).
