David P. Ballou is a professor emeritus of biological chemistry at the University of Michigan Medical School in the United States.[1] He is best known for his development of rapid-reaction techniques,[2] including stopped flow and rapid freeze-quench EPR methods,[3] as tools to study the mechanisms of enzymes containing flavin,[4] iron,[5] cobalamin, or pyridoxal phosphate cofactors. Many of these studies were performed in collaboration with other scientists, most often with colleagues at Michigan.[6]
Biography[edit]
David Ballou grew up in Connecticut.[2] He received a B.S. in chemistry from Antioch College in 1965. In 1971, he received a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan under the supervision of Graham Palmer. From 1971-1972, he was a postdoctoral fellow with Vincent Massey and Minor J. Coon at the University of Michigan. He has been a faculty member in the Department of Biological Chemistry at the University of Michigan Medical School since 1972. In 2007, Ballou became a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in recognition of his discovery of enzyme intermediates that are involved in biological oxidation reactions.[7] His most cited paper, l, "Oxidative Protein Folding Is Driven by the Electron Transport System",[8] has been cited 311 times according to Google Scholar, and he has contributed to 25 papers having more than 0100 citations each.[9]
