Born 1941 in Halifax, England. British chemist. Earned his PhD from Oxford University. In 1982, he became a professor at the UK Institute of Molecular Biomedical Sciences. In order to prove the rotational theory of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase proposed by PD Boyer of the University of California, Los Angeles, he used X-ray analysis and revealed its three-dimensional structure in the 1990s. His research, spanning 10 years, demonstrated the mechanism of synthesis of ATP, the energy source in living organisms. Together with Boyer and JC Scow, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1997.
