Knud Nierhaus (1941-2016) was a German biochemist and leading expert on ribosomes. He was a group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin-Dahlem and an adjunct professor at the TU Berlin. He developed the Alpha-Epsilon model of tRNA binding to mRNA during translation, discovered the E-site in the ribosome, and reconstituted the 50S subunit of the ribosome in vitro. He also studied the structure and function of ribosome complexes using cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography, contributing to the understanding of antibiotic binding sites in the ribosome. His research group made important discoveries in the regulation of translation, including the ribosome assembly factor RsfS (RsfA). Nierhaus was an amateur pianist.
