Professor

Ian Mackerras

FAA

Ian Mackerras
Image Description
Distinguished for his contributions to knowledge of medical and veterinary entomology and parasitology in Australia, and as a leader of energetic research teams in these fields. In his research, by a combination of laboratory experiments and field studies, he has made distinguished contributions to the understanding of several problems, notably the sheep blowfly, cattle tick and buffalo fly. He developed an entomological service for the first time in the Australian Aney (1940-45) and under his inspiring leadership results of great value to the allied forces in the Pacific were achieved. He personally added much to the knowledge of dengue fever and malaria and to the control and taxonomy of the insect vectors. More recently he has developed and intensified research in the borderline fields of zoology and medicine, more particularly into the study of animals and birds in relation to transmission of human infectious diseases.

Alfred Gottschalk

FAA

Alfred Gottschalk
Image Description
Distinguished over the past 35 years for his outstanding contributions to the biochemistry of carbohydrate metabolism in the higher plants and animals and in microorganisms (1914-52). His recent studies (1952-54) of the action of viral enzymes on muco­proteins have greatly clarified knowledge of the carbohydrate moiety of the glyco-proteins. Gottschalk isolated a nitrogen-containing substance set free from muco-proteins by the action of enzymes situated at the surface of the influenza virus and showed it to be 2, carboxy-pyrrole, an amino acid hitherto unknown in biological products. He has since shown that 2, carboxy-pyrrole is present in a great number of muco­proteins and absent from proteins which have no carbohydrate prosthetic groups; and has demonstrated that this amino acid forms the bridge between the carbohydrate and the peptid chain in the muco-proteins. These studies have far-reaching fundamental significance in the realms of both protein chemistry and virology.
