Description
Head and shoulders portrait of Alan Roy Fersht looking directly to viewer. He is dressed in tweed suit jacket, white shirt and spotted silk tie.
Signed by the artist on the front mount and inscribed on the reverse ‘Box 3. PROFESSOR A. R. FERSHT F.R.S. 1983, 85 SGRS 8394/21.’
Stamped ‘COPYRIGHT GODFREY ARGENT STUDIO, 12 HOLLAND ST. LONDON W8 4LT. TEL: 937 0441, 937 4008.’
Sir Alan Roy Fersht, British chemist, was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1983. He was awarded the Gabor Medal in 1991 in recognition of his pioneering work in the use of protein engineering to study protein structure and enzyme function. The Davy Medal in 1998 in recognition for his pioneering work on the analysis of proteins by combining the methods and ideas of physical-organic chemistry with those of protein engineering thus illuminating such processes as enzymatic catalysis, protein folding, protein-protein interactions and those macromolecule interactions in general that are dominated by the chemistry of the noncovalent bond". The Royal Medal in 2008 in recognition of his seminal work in protein engineering, which he has developed into a fundamental tool in enzyme analysis and the problem of protein folding." He was also awarded the Copley Medal in 2020 because he has developed and applied the methods of protein engineering to provide descriptions of protein folding pathways at atomic resolution, revolutionising our understanding of these processes.
