  • Johann Deisenhofer (German and American) — solved first three-dimensional structure of membrane protein
  • Max Delbrück — discovered that bacteria become resistant to phages as a result of genetic mutations. Delbrück, Salvador Luria, and Alfred Hershey shared the 1969 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for their discoveries concerning the replication mechanism and the genetic structure of viruses"
  • Emilio Del Giudice (Italian, 1940–2014) — water research
  • David DeRosier (American) — developed 3-D reconstruction methods for electron microscopy[4]
  • Friedrich Dessauer — research on radiation, especially X-rays
  • Ken A. Dill (American, 1947–) — research on folding pathways of proteins.
  • Christopher Dobson (British, 1949–) — protein folding and misfolding
  • Jennifer Doudna (American, 1964–) — structures of large RNAs; pioneer in CRISPR research
  • Leslie Dutton (British and American) — Oxidoreductase function and design.

  • King-Wai Yau (Chinese-born American, 1948–) — fundamental contributions to understanding the mechanisms of sensory transduction in rod, cone, and non-image visual systems and in olfaction
  • Ada Yonath (Israeli, 1939–) — winner of the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (with Steitz and Ramakrishnan) for solving the crystal structure of the large subunit of the ribosome
  • Douglas Youvan — light reactions of photosynthesis, genetic code, imaging spectroscopy and directed evolution
