Abstract

Scientific colleagues, personal friends and the editors of Nucleic Acids Research were all saddened to learn of the recent death of Dr Alfred M. Pingoud, a long-time contributor to the journal both as a prolific contributor in many areas of nucleic acid enzymology and as a frequent reviewer for the journal.Dr Pingoud was born on 31 August 1945, as the son of a businessman and a teacher in Schwaan (Mecklenburg, Germany). After completing high school in Langen (Hessen, Germany), he studied Biochemistry at the University of Tübingen and at Amherst College in Massachusetts, graduating in 1969 with a thesis describing ‘Studies on the aldehydeoxidase’ with Prof Ernst Bayer at the Institute of Organic Chemistry.
