title: Wilhelm Hasselbach: a personal tribute.
abstract: Wilhelm Hasselbach (1921-2015) is best known for his major contribution to the discovery and molecular elucidation of an ATP-driven active ion transport across a biological membrane. He had discovered SERCA, the calcium pump of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (Hasselbach and Makinose in Biochem Z 333:518-528, 1961; Biochem Z 339:94-111, 1963).
