With his colleagues, he has resolved numerous NMR structures of proteins and nucleic acids, including prion proteins from numerous species and peptidylprolyl isomerase A (cyclophilin A), also known as PPIA, a regulatory gene found in humans and other mammals. The first complete determination of a protein structure via W黷hrich's method was accomplished in 1985, and in 2002 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry. He has also studied the biology, structure and function of proteins and nucleic acids; development of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques for macromolecular structure determination in solution and for studies of intermolecular interactions; applications in structuralgenomics, proteomics and biomedical research.
