194 1 year (30 years of the Republic of China), graduated from Nankai Middle School; In the same year, he was admitted to The National SouthWest Associated University, jointly established by Peking University, Tsinghua University and Nankai University, and studied chemistry. 1945 (thirty-four years of the Republic of China) graduated from the Department of Chemistry of National Southwest Associated University.
1946 (thirty-five years of the Republic of China), Zou Chenglu was admitted with the first place in the examination for recruiting foreign students at public expense. After going to England, I studied respiratory chain reductase under the famous biochemist Professor Kailin from Cambridge University in England. During his postgraduate studies, Zou Chenglu took the lead in studying the relationship between the structure and function of protein partially hydrolyzed by proteolytic enzymes in the world, and published his own signed paper in the British journal Nature. It was also found that the properties of cytochrome C changed when it combined with mitochondria after purification, which proved that cytochrome B and succinate dehydrogenase were not the same substance. 195 1 year, Zou Chenglu received a doctorate in biochemistry from Cambridge university.
1948 (37 years of the Republic of China), Zou Chenglu and Li Siguang's daughter lin li got married at the seaside in Bournemouth, England.
195 1 After returning to China, Zou Chenglu cooperated with Wang Yinglai and Wang Jingying to purify succinate dehydrogenase, and found that its auxiliary group was FAD bound to the valence of protein and FAD bound to the valence of protein. In addition, they also carried out a series of work on enzyme systems such as respiratory chain, which laid a good foundation for the study of enzymology and respiratory chain in China. He has served as an associate researcher, researcher and director of the Institute of Biochemistry and the Institute of Biophysics of China Academy of Sciences, deputy director of the Institute of Biophysics and director of the State Key Laboratory of Biomacromolecules.
From 65438 to 0958, Zou Chenglu participated in the artificial synthesis of insulin, and was responsible for the disassembly of insulin A chain and insulin B chain. The completion of this work determined the route of total insulin synthesis, which made an important contribution to the artificial synthesis of insulin. The working group on insulin synthesis won the first prize of National Natural Science Award 1978 and Qiushi Award 1997.
1979, Zou Chenglu discovered that glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase formed a fluorescent derivative at the active site and published it in the British journal Nature, which was the first paper published by China scientists in the journal Nature after the Cultural Revolution, and its research achievement won the first prize of scientific and technological progress of China Academy of Sciences.
1980 was elected as an academician of China Academy of Sciences.
198 1 year, Zou Chenglu first raised the issue of "scientific research ethics" in the scientific community. "Scientific research is not fake, but some people resort to deceit to pursue fame and fortune. It is even more intolerable for individuals to copy the results of others by hook or by crook. "
200 1 in the "nucleic acid storm", Zou Chenglu pointed out that there was no scientific basis for nucleic acid nutrition, and publicly accused the deputy secretary-general of a biochemical society of making commercial propaganda for nucleic acid nutrition.
In 2003, Zou Chenglu summarized the seven sins of China scientists who violated academic ethics at the annual meeting of China Association for Science and Technology: forging academic qualifications and work experience; Forging or tampering with the original experimental data; Plagiarism or plagiarism of others' achievements; Belittle the achievements of predecessors and exaggerate publicity; More than two votes for one draft; Sign a paper you didn't participate in; Make unrealistic propaganda for commercial advertisements.
On June 23rd, 2006, Zou Chenglu died in Beijing at the age of 83.
