Volker Buss
Volker Buß (* 1942 ) is a German chemist.
Buss studied chemistry and pharmacy at the University of Marburg with a diploma in 1967 and was at the 1970 Princeton University with Paul von Ragué Schleyer doctorate . Until 1973 he was research assistant with Hans Kuhn at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen. In 1973 he became professor at the University of Marburg and from 1977 professor for theoretical chemistry at the University of Duisburg-Essen (at that time the University of Duisburg). In 2007 he retired.
He is co-author of an introduction to chemistry at VGS Verlag parallel to a ZDF series on chemistry (ZDF chemistry study program ).
Buß uses quantum mechanics to study photoproteins such as rhodopsin and bacterial rhodopsin and the mechanism by which they react to light absorption.
