Chikashi Toyoshima

Chikashi Toyoshima (, Hepburn: ; born July 17, 1954) is a Japanese biophysicist. He is a professor at the University of Tokyo and the Foreign Associate of the National Academy of Sciences, USA. His research focuses on two proteins: the Ca²⁺-ATPase, and the Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase. Toyoshima's research about the Ca²⁺-ATPase started in 1989. He and his colleagues obtained the world's first series of images of Ca²⁺-ATPase at the atomic level. Via X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM and other methods, he has determined the crystal structures of ten intermediates of Ca²⁺-ATPase. Toyoshima and Poul Nissen were awarded the Gregori Aminoff Prize in 2016 by the The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for their fundamental contributions to understanding the structural basis for ATP-driven translocation of ions across membranes.
