Career
During his graduate studies Bode was using
x-ray scattering. After his Ph.D. he then joined the lab of Robert Huber to work with x-ray crystallography. In 1975 Bode published the structure of trypsin, which was among the first protease structures that could be solved. His following work on the structure and function of proteins has contributed significantly to the understanding of several important biological processes, especially coagulation, fibrinolysis and photosynthesis
