Martin Högbom

Martin Ivar Högbom (born 29 May 1974) is a Swedish biochemist and structural biologist.

[1][2] Högbom's research regards bio-inorganic chemistry, mainly how enzymes employ metal ions and radical species to perform particularly challenging chemical reactions.

The research concerns biological energy conversion,[3][4] deoxyribonucleotide synthesis,[5] and biochemical oxidation of hydrocarbons.

[6] Högbom was awarded The European Medal for Bio-Inorganic Chemistry in 2010[7] and the Svedberg prize in 2012.

[9] He was elected as a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 2020.
