(1996 update)
The Shemiakin Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry Branch located in
Pushchino
is comprised of three laboratories:
(1.) The Regulatory Proteins Laboratory under V. M. Lipkin, D. Chem. S.;
(2.) The Protein Engineering Laboratory under S. A. Zozulia, C. Chem. S., and
(3.) The Neurochemistry Laboratory under V. N. Pashkov, C. Chem. S.
Investigations at the Branch in Pushchino are conducted in physico-chemical biology,
bioorganic chemistry, and biotechnology, molecular and cellular immunology,
structure and function of biological membranes, and genetic engineering.
Laboratory for Organo-metallic Compounds
Head of laboratory-- Professor Dmitrii N. Kravtsov
The laboratory was set up in 1935 at the Institute of Organic Chemistry of the USSR
Academy of Sciences. In 1954 it became a division of INEOS. Professor A. N.
Nesmeyanov (Nesmeianov) headed the laboratory from its organization until his
death in 1980.
Investigations in the field of physical organometallic chemistry. Studies on the properties of
univalent organometallic groups containing central atoms of transition or heavy
main group metals involving ?-bond polarity, comparative electro-negativity and
chemical hardness as well as structure of potentially metallotropic systems. Spectral
investigations of novel types of hydrogen bonding and their role in protonation of
transition metal complexes and hydrides.
The Division of Biotechnology under Dr. Iurii B. Alakhov, C. Chem. S., has under
its iurisdiction the
Research and Production Section "Biocenter" which is under V. B. Sadovnikov,
C. Chem. S., and a
Blood Serum Factors Investigations Laboratory under O. E. Trubetskaia (aya),
C. Chem. S. The institute specializes in the preparation of young research specialists.
In addition to a sophisticated computer center that is used both for research
and instruction, the institute maintains a library of some 100,000 volumes in the
various sciences collected from world scientific centers, and its periodical scientific
subscription list includes some 300 foreign scientific journals. It publishes
Bioorganic Chemistry and Biological Membranes. The institute headed the
Scientific Council on Problems of Bioorganic Chemistry under the old AN SSSR.
