Douglas Charles Youvan (born 1955) is an American scientist. ==Biography== Youvan received an Associate's degree in Electronics and a Bachelor's degree in Biology from Pittsburg State University. He received his Ph.D. degree in biophysics from UC Berkeley. Youvan was an Associate Professor of Chemistry at MIT, where he specialized in the study of photosynthesis, specifically the spectral analysis of photosynthetic bacteria. Youvan, along with Mary M. Yang, developed instrumentation to study the spectra of bacteria directly from a petri dish. Their technology was later employed by NASA.〔(From Planetary Imaging to Enzyme Screening ) spinoff.nasa.gov, ''From Planetary Imaging to Enzyme Screening''〕 He founded Karios Scientific Inc. together with Mary M. Yang. Due to a docketing error, Kairos lost its patent rights to KCAT, an instrument used for screening enzyme kinetics on microcolonies. Kairos' lawsuit against Fish and Richardson ends with California Supreme Court case S141615, with a remand and instructions resulting in a $34.5 million award to Kairos. The Wayback_Machine indicates the extensive Kairos website has been thoroughly archived and that it operated from 1996 to 2013. , Kairos' online journal, ''Biotechnology et alia'', is still operational and carries several of Youvan's publications. Youvan's work on proteins that interact with light is referenced in two Nobel Prize Lectures: by Roger Y. Tsien on (GFP ) and by Diesenhofer and Michel for (photosynthetic reaction centers ). According to Google Scholar, , Youvan is referenced in 4600 other publications. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Douglas Youvan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
