Bengt Nölting was a German physicist and biophysicist who pioneered various methods in biophysics

Biophysics

Biophysics is an interdisciplinary science that uses the methods of physical science to study biological systems. Studies included under the branches of biophysics span all levels of biological organization, from the molecular scale to whole organisms and ecosystems...

 and engineering. Achievements include studying biological macromolecules, the development of self-evolving computer programs, and the development new energy technologies. From 1994-1997 Nölting was scientist at Cambridge University

University of Cambridge

The University of Cambridge is a public research university located in Cambridge, United Kingdom. It is the second-oldest university in both the United Kingdom and the English-speaking world , and the seventh-oldest globally...

 and the Cambridge Centre for Protein Engineering (UK) where he developed, together with Sir Alan R. Fersht, methods for the high resolution of protein folding

Protein folding

Protein folding is the process by which a protein structure assumes its functional shape or conformation. It is the physical process by which a polypeptide folds into its characteristic and functional three-dimensional structure from random coil....
