making throughout his career towards a structure-based functional understanding of molecular
machines, and more generally, supramolecular protein assemblies by a hybrid methods experimental
approach involving light, electron and scanning probe microscopies, X-ray crystallography, molecular
cell biology, and rational protein design; and for his continuous support of Czech science and
education and, more generally, his many charitable activities.
The ceremony took place in the big aula of the Karolinum, the historical building of Charles
