Live and act

Schultz studied chemistry at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and acquired in 1979 his Bachelor of Science degree with summa cum laude and was 1984 Ph.D. PhD ; his mentor was Peter Dervan . His dissertation is entitled Ground and Excited State Studies of 1,1-Diazenes / Design of Sequence Specific DNA Cleaving Molecules . He was then a post-doctoral student with Christopher Walsh at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , before moving to the University of California, Berkeley in 1985, where he was Assistant Professor from 1985 to 1987, Associate Professor from 1987 to 1989 and Full Professor from 1989 to 1999 at the Department of Chemistry was. He was also a researcher at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory from 1985 to 2003 and at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute from 1994 to 1999 . Since 1999 he has been Professor of Chemistry at the Scripps Research Institute .

Schultz worked on the interface between organic chemistry and chemical biology . In particular, he designs highly efficient catalytic antibodies and researches stem cells and unnatural amino acids . He also uses combinatorial methods such as cDNA libraries and microarrays to create substances with new properties. He published more than 400 scientific papers .

In November 2009, Schultz had to withdraw a much-cited Science Paper from 2004, which, like a number of other publications from his research group, described a method for the expression of proteins with glycosylated amino acids in E. Coli (that is, proteins that are not only composed of amino acids, but also consist of carbohydrates). This was initially referred to as a pharmaceutical "killer application", for which Schultz received over $ 300 million from the economy. It was not possible for his employees to reproduce the experimental results or to produce the relevant laboratory documents.
