Sir John Ernest Walker FRS FMedSci (born 7 January 1941) is a British chemist who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1997. As of 2015 Walker is Emeritus Director and Professor at the MRC Mitochondrial Biology Unit in Cambridge, and a Fellow of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1997 was divided, one half jointly to Paul D. Boyer and John E. Walker "for their elucidation of the enzymatic mechanism underlying the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)" and the other half to Jens C. Skou "for the first discovery of an ion-transporting enzyme, Na+, K+ -ATPase"

John Walker is an English chemist who was one of the co-recipients of 1997 the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Along with Paul Boyer, the fellow co-recipient of the Nobel Prize, he is credited for the elucidation of the enzymatic mechanism underlying the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
John E. Walker shared the 1997 Nobel Prize in chemistry with the American Paul D. Boyer (1918-2012) of the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and Dane Jens C. Skou (1918-) of Aarhus University for discoveries about ATP synthase, an enzyme responsible for making adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the universal energy carrier in living cells.
