MPI of Biochemistry

 

Proteins are the molecular building blocks and engines of the cell, and are involved in almost all processes of life. The scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry (MPIB) investigate the structure of proteins and how they function – from individual molecules up to whole organisms. With about 850 employees coming from 45 nations, the MPIB is one of the largest institutes within the Max Planck Society. In currently eight departments and about 25 research groups, scientists contribute to the newest findings in the areas of biochemistry, cell biology, structural biology, biophysics and molecular science. They are supported by several scientific, administrative and technical service facilities.

Matthias Mann Receives Louis-Jeantet Prize for Medicine - Award for new methods to analyze proteins
Every cell has a vast number of proteins at its command which are involved in practically all biological processes. Every protein undertakes specified tasks and they all need to work together harmoniously. Matthias Mann, director at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Martinsried near Munich, Germany, is to receive the Louis-Jeantet Prize for Medicine 2012 for his work on the development of mass spectrometric procedures for protein analysis. The award comes with 700,000 CHF prize money (about 540,000 Euros) and will be presented on April 19, 2012 in Geneva, Switzerland.
