Donald Herman Voet (born November 29, 1938)^[1] is an associate professor of chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania. His laboratory utilizes x-ray crystallography to understand structure-function relationships in proteins.^[2] He and his wife, Judith G. Voet, are authors of biochemistry text books that are widely used in undergraduate and graduate curricula.^[3][4][5][6]

Education

Voet earned his B.S. in chemistry from the California Institute of Technology in 1960 and his Ph.D. in chemistry from Harvard University with William N. Lipscomb, Jr. in 1967.^[6][7][8]

Career

He completed his postdoctoral research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1969 in the laboratory of Alexander Rich. He later became a professor in the chemistry department at the University of Pennsylvania. Voet and his wife are coeditors-in-chief of the journal Biochemical and Molecular Biology Education.^[2][6]
