The crystallographic world was stunned when at a meeting in Erice, Sicily, in 1982, Hartmut Michel of the Max-Planck Institute in Martinsried, Germany, displayed the x-ray diagram shown in Figure 12.12. Not only was this the first x-ray picture to high resolution of a membrane protein, but the crystal was... 

The three-dimensional structure of Ras was determined by the groups of Sung-Hou Kim at the University of California, Berkeley, and Ken Holmes at the Max-Planck Institute, Heidelberg. Ras has an a/p-type structure in which the central p sheet comprises six p strands, five of which are parallel (Figure... 

All the residues involved in important functions in the catalytic mechanism are strictly conserved in all homologous GTPases with one notable exception. Ras does not have the arginine in the switch 1 region that stabilizes the transition state. The assumption that the lack of this catalytically important residue was one reason for the slow rate of GTP hydrolysis by Ras was confirmed when the group of Alfred Wittinghofer, Max-Planck Institute,...

Confirming its structure required isolating enough Cgo to apply modern techniques of structure determination. A quantum leap in fullerene research came in 1990 when a team led by Wolfgang Kratschmer of the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg and Donald Huffman of the University of Arizona successfully prepared buckmin-sterfullerene in amounts sufficient for its isolation, purification, and detailed study. Not only was the buckminsterfullerene structure shown to be correct.

With the onset of World War 11, politics began to interfere with his research. Debye was actually forbidden to enter the Max Planck Institute which he directed because he refused to accept German citizenship. Despite obstruction by the German government, he left Germany by way of Italy and came to the United States. In 1940 he was appointed professor of chemistry and head of the department of chemistry at Cornell University. Six years later, he became an American citizen. During the war years his research turned toward the structure and particle size of high polymers.
