SISAKYAN, NORAIR MARTIRQSQVICH (Biochemist) 



N. M. Sisakyan was born January 25, 1907. He graduated 

 from the K. A. Timiryazev Agricultural Academy, Moscow, in 

 1932, and in 1939 began working at the Institute of Biochemistry 

 of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. Since 1937 he has been a 

 member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. He was 

 elected Corresponding Member of the Armenian S.S.R. Acade- 

 my of Sciences in 1945, Corresponding Member of the U.S.S.R. 

 Academy of Sciences in 1953, and in 1960 Academician. He was 

 acting Academician Secretary of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sci- 

 ences 1958-60 and has been Academy Secretary for the division 

 of biological sciences since 1960. Also he has been Chairman 

 of the Soviet delegation to UNESCO. In 1949, the U.S.S.R. 

 Academy of Sciences awarded him the A. N. Bakh Prize and in 

 1950 the I. I. Mechnikov Prize. He won a Stalin Prize in 1952. 



The main scientific investigations of Sisakyan are the 

 study of the action of enzymes in metabolism. While study- 

 ing the biochemical properties and enzyme functions of sub- 

 microscopic structures of protoplasm, he showed that the 

 plastides are rich not only in nucleoproteins but also in en- 

 zymes. He studied the biochemical nature of drought- 

 resistance of plants, the biochemistry of wine production and 

 others. 



As of 1961 Sisakyan was Chairman of the Commission on 

 International Scientific Relations of the U.S.S.R. Academy of 

 Sciences.
