Sir Alan Rushton Battersby FRS (b. 1925) is a retired organic chemist known for his work on the genetic blueprint, structure, and synthetic pathway of Cyanocobalamin. This came in collaboration with a partner and also in relation to work on plant alkaloids. He won the Copley Medal in 2000 and has also won other awards. The Fellowship of the Royal Society was founded in 1660. ...

Research Alan R. Battersby is know for his research on the biosynthesis of the 'pigments of life' haem, chlorophyll and vitamin B12, that are built on closely related tetrapyrrolic structural frameworks. Alan Battersby has demonstrated and elucidated the essential role played by two enzymes, deaminase and cosynthetase, in the construction of the tetrapyrrolic ring with its specific structural features. He was awarded the Wolf Prize in Chemistry along with Duilio Arigoni of ETH Zurich in 1989 for "their fundamental contributions to the elucidation of the mechanism of enzymic reactions and of the biosynthesis of natural products, in particular the pigments of life".[1] Past winners of the Wolf Prize in Chemistry: 1978 Carl Djerassi 1979 Herman F. Mark 1980 Henry Eyring 1981 Joseph Chatt 1982 John C. Polanyi, George C. Pimentel 1983/4 Herbert S. Gutowsky, Harden M. McConnell, John A. Waugh 1984/5 Rudolph A.
