Modern Cell Biology – Structure and Function A Membrane Bound Perspective Electron microscope available Albert Claude – Rockefeller Institute used EM for visualizing cells Invented differential centrifugation and went on to discover the endoplasmic reticulum George Palade – Discovered ribosomes and determined that they carry out protein synthesis Went on to show that vesicles travel from ER to golgi to outside of the cell Christian de Duve – Used fractionation to isolate groups of enzymes discovered lysosome and perioxisome
