	Johann Deisenhofer, Ph.D.
		Deisenhofer and his team also are working to understand how alterations in the amino acid sequence in critical regions of the LDL receptor might cause familial hypercholesterolemia, a common inherited disease marked by high cholesterol levels, atherosclerosis, and increased risk of heart attack early in life.
		Deisenhofer is also Regental Professor and Professor of Biochemistry and holds the Virginia and Edward Linthicum Distinguished Chair in Biomolecular Science at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.
		Johann Deisenhofer and his colleagues determine and study the three-dimensional structures of proteins to understand their folding, structural stability, and function.

	A blueprint for better cholesterol-lowering drugs
		Deisenhofer and Istvan found that statins bind to HMGR's active site—the catalytic region of enzymes that binds biological substances—and prevent the enzyme from producing a molecule that is crucial to cholesterol synthesis.
		Deisenhofer emphasized that he and his colleagues undertook these studies to learn more about how the cholesterol-synthesis pathway works at the molecular level.
		Deisenhofer emphasized, however, that tight binding of statins to the enzyme might not be the whole story.

	Johann Deisenhofer Summary
		His parents, Johann and Thekla (Magg) Deisenhofer, were farmers and they raised Johann with the expectation that, as the only son in their small family, he would take over the responsibility of running the family farm when his father retired.
		Johann Deisenhofer is a biochemist and biophysicist whose career has been devoted to analyzing the composition of molecular structures.
		Deisenhofer was awarded a scholarship and spent 18 months in the military, as was required for young German men, before enrolling at the Technical University of Munich to study physics.

		Johann Deisenhofer recebeu o Prêmio Nóbel de Química de 1988 por ter elucidado a estrutura tridimensional de um centro de reação fotosintética a nível atômico, junto com os Professores Robert Huber e Hartmut Michel, quem também assistirão ao Campus de Excelência.
		Deisenhofer chega a Fuerteventura para falar sobre a maneira em que as bactérias (especialmente as gram negativas) transportam ferro por suas membranas.
		Deisenhofer afirmou também que muito recentemente, outro grupo de experimentação acaba de descobrir, através de um modelo animal com ratos, que se se removem os genes que controlam a produção destas proteínas que obtêm o ferro em forma de íons, o corpo se volta mais vulnerável às infecções.

	Johann Deisenhofer Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Biochemist and biophysicist Johann Deisenhofer (born 1943) devised a way to use X-ray technology to map the chemical reactions central to plant photosynthesis, earning him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1988.
		During the 1980s his work aiding a group of German biologists in studying plant photosynthesis--the process whereby light energy from the sun is converted into the chemical energy that maintains life--resulted in the first-ever mapping of the structure of those molecules involved in the chemical reaction integral to the conversion process.
		In 1956, 13-year-old Johann was sent away to a series of boarding schools, and he graduated from Augsburg's Holbein Gymnasium--a gymnasium is the German equivalent of a North American high school--seven years later in 1963.

	HHMI: Nobel Laureates - Johann Deisenhofer
		The way plants, algae, and some bacteria harness energy from the sun to produce food is a marvel of biology, and not all the details of the process are well understood.
		But between 1982 and 1985, Johann Deisenhofer, working in collaboration with Robert Huber and Hartmut Michel at Germany's Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry, helped resolve the pathway by which sunlight is converted to chemical energy.
		Deisenhofer's work has implications far beyond the theoretical understanding of photosynthesis.
