Organic Chemist Peter Schultz wins Wolf Prize in Chemistry January 13, 1994 By Diane LaMacchia, DMLaMacchia@LBL.gov LBL organic chemist Peter Schultz has been named co-winner of the prestigious Wolf Prize in Chemistry for 1994/95. Schultz, 38, is a principal investigator in both the Materials Sciences and Structural Biology divisions and a professor of chemistry at UC Berkeley. Schultz will share the $100,000 prize with Richard Lerner of the Scripps Institute. Both men are being honored for their separate work in converting antibodies into enzymes. This work, says the Wolf Foundation, "may potentially revolutionize the process of obtaining new chemical products in the laboratory and by industry." Schultz is widely recognized for his contributions to the understanding of the mechanisms of molecular recognition and catalysis in biological systems. One example of this work is the design of highly efficient "catalytic antibodies" that are able to cut, splice, and modify biological molecules at specific points. Schultz has also developed a new technique for studying proteins in which unnatural amino acids can be inserted site-specifically into proteins. In the last year, he and his coworkers have expanded the genetic code to include more than 80 unnatural amino acids being substituted into proteins so that their catalytic and binding properties and stability can be studied.

Princeton Weekly Bulletin February 1, 1999 Stein wins Wolf Prize Elias Stein, Albert Baldwin Dod Professor of Mathematics, is one of two winners of the 1999 Wolf Prize in mathematics. The prize recognized Stein for his "fundamental contributions" to developing methods for analyzing wave energies, such as light and sound. The Wolf Foundation, an Israeli group that awards several prizes in the arts and sciences, also applauded Stein for his "exceptional impact on a new generation of analysts through his eloquent teaching and writing." Princeton faculty have now won the Wolf Prize in mathematics for each of the last three years it was given. Andrew Wiles was a 1996 recipient and Yakov Sinai a 1997 recipent (the prize was not given in mathematics in 1998). Stein shared this year's prize with Laszlo Lovasz of Yale University. Stein has spent much of his career studying and improving upon Fourier analysis. This method, invented by the 19th-century French mathematician J.B.J. Fourier, allows scientists to understand the harmonic content of wave forms. A physicist, for example, might use Fourier analysis to understand what mixture of wave frequencies, or colors, are present in a beam of light. Fourier analysis allows the display on some pieces of home stereo equipment to show what frequencies, or harmonics, are present in music as it plays. Part of Stein's work has been to develop new methods and uses for harmonic analysis. The technique has grown beyond analysis of wave phenomena and is now a key tool for solving partial differential equations, the mathematical laws that govern most physical phenomena. The technique also has applications in fields as diverse as number theory and probability theory.

First, (608) 263-4307 WOLF PRIZE IN AGRICULTURE AWARDED TO UW-MADISON'S FIRST MADISON - University of Wisconsin-Madison biologist Neal L. First, a pioneer in the field of reproductive physiology, has been named the recipient of the 1997 Wolf Prize in Agriculture, the world's most prestigious award for agricultural research. First's selection for what some call the Nobel Prize of agriculture and its $100,000 award was announced yesterday (Nov. 12) in Israel by the Wolf Foundation. First, who has been on the UW-Madison faculty in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences since 1960, was cited for the development of systems of bovine embryo cloning, gene transfer and in-vitro production of livestock embryos. The animal biotechnology work of First and others promises to transform the barnyard, paving the way for the vastly more efficient production of cattle as well as the development of animal superstrains, from lean beef cattle to cows and goats that produce lifesaving drugs in their milk. In 1987, First proved that cattle could be cloned when Fusion and Copy, the first cloned cattle in the world, were born on the Madison campus. Genetic carbon copies, the calves illustrated the potential of harnessing the tools of modern biology to produce custom-built herds of superior livestock.

NEWS RELEASE, 02/24/98 UC Berkeley chemistry professor to receive Wolf Prize at May 10 ceremony in Jerusalem, Israel by Robert Sanders BERKELEY Gabor A. Somorjai, one of the pioneers of surface chemistry and a professor of chemistry at UC Berkeley, has been awarded the annual Wolf Prize in Chemistry from the Israel-based Wolf Foundation. Somorjai, 62, shares the $100,000 award with Gerhard Ertl, 61, of the Fritz-Haber Institute of the Max-Planck Gessellschaft in Berlin. The two independently laid the foundation for the present understanding of chemical reactions at the surface of materials. The field is of great importance in industry today, in areas ranging from pollution control by catalytic converters to the creation of thin films on computer hard drives. The study of surfaces in general their electrical, magnetic and optical as well as chemical properties has been pushed greatly by the race to make electronic circuits smaller and smaller, cramming millions of transistors into a dime-sized area. "This is the first major international award in the field of surface chemistry, and I was very happy to receive it," said Somorjai, who also is a faculty senior scientist in the Materials Sciences Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. "Recognition has finally come to the field."

Somorjai Wins Wolf Prize in Chemistry Gabor A. Somorjai, professor of chemistry, has been named winner of the Wolf Prize in Chemistry, along with Gerhard Ertl. The two will share the $100,000 award. The Israeli-based Wolf Foundation, in its Jan. 27 announcement, said the two men, working independently, laid the foundation for the present understanding of surface chemical reactions, which it said is of enormous importance in industrial technology as well as basic science. Surface science technologies are applied in many industrial processes and are used to fight pollution. Somorjai was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1935. He immigrated to the United States at the 1956 outbreak of the Hungarian Revolution, while in his fourth year as a chemical engineering student at Budapest's Technical University. He received his PhD in chemistry at Berkeley in 1960. After graduation he joined the IBM research staff in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., where he remained until 1964. At that time he was appointed assistant professor of chemistry at Berkeley; in 1972 he became professor. Somorjai has educated more than 90 PhD students and had over 110 post-doctoral co-workers. He has written three textbooks and more than 700 scientific papers on surface chemistry, heterogeneous catalysis and solid-state chemistry.
