The research group of John E. Walker, then at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, crystallized the F catalytic - domain of ATP synthase . The structure, at the time the largest asymmetric protein structure known, indicated that Boyer's rotary - catalysis model was, in essence, correct . For elucidating this, Boyer and Walker shared half of the 1997 Nobel Prize in Chemistry . </P>
