摘要
David Leigh于1987年获得谢菲尔德大学皇冠醚化学博士学位,曾在华威大学、爱丁堡大学、曼彻斯特大学和华东师范大学担任教授职务。他实验室的里程碑式的例子包括引入合成分子棘轮和第一个催化驱动的小分子马达。后者最近被用来证明通过运动催化的化学能转导,这是支撑生物学的基本过程。
Reaction: Of myths, misconceptions, and motors—A matter of equilibrium
David Leigh earned a PhD in crown ether chemistry from the University of Sheffield in 1987 and has held professorial positions at the Universities of Warwick, Edinburgh, Manchester, and East China Normal University. Landmark examples from his laboratory include the introduction of synthetic molecular ratchets and the first catalysis-driven small-molecule motors. The latter were recently used to demonstrate the transduction of chemical energy through motor catalysis, the fundamental process underpinning biology.
