| Title | Whatley, Frederick Robert: certificate of election to the Royal Society |
| Description | Citation typed |
| Citation | Distinguished for his studies on many aspects of photosynthesis. His early work on the methaemoglobin reducing factor afterwards recognised as ferredoxin. He then worked with lead mitochondria in Australia resulting in ATP synthesis. Joining Arnon in Berkeley, this background resulted in photophosphorylation in chloroplasts. He developed and initiated the cyclic photophosphorylation and the stoichiometry of electron transport via ferredoxin programme employing physicochemical methods such as electron spin resonance, Mossbauer and circular dichroism spectrometry in relation to this group of iron/sulphur proteins in their oxidation/reduction behaviour. |
