Dear Colleagues,
This is really very sad news coming from Indiana. I was fortunate
enough to be trained by Prof. MRN Murthy (IISc, Bangalore, India) and Prof.
Rik Wierenga (University of Oulu, Finland). My both mentors were postdoc
with Prof. Rossmann in late 1970s.
This is how, I was related to him.
This is big loss to Structural Biology community. He will be remembered
forever for his scientific contributions.
Thank you,
Rajesh
