Dear Eugene

Thanks for sharing the sad news. Alexey was a wonderful person and huge
help for setting up our MorDA-powered Contaminer server.
a big loss for the community!

Very sad news to me indeed. Alexei is a great scientist from whom I have 
leant a lot. There are so many cherishing memories of working with him.


May his soul rest in peace.

[ccp4bb] Alexey Vagin

[Carter, Charlie]

I never met Alexei Vagin and it has been some time since I’ve done much 
crystallography. Nonetheless, this news saddens me because of the oversize 
reputation I knew he had built. His name became legendary even to me quite 
early on. I appreciate knowing that his personality was as generous as his 
reputation was robust as a scientist.

Re: [ccp4bb] Alexey Vagin

[Jon Agirre]

I met Alexey at an EMBO course in Gif-sur-Yvette in 2005. I thought he
was impressive and had an incredible sense of humour: from his
friendly competition with Jorge Navaza, to his remarks about making
MOLREP properly automated so he could have 'more time to smoke'.
Back then, his York website was full of hilarious crystallography
memes, long before the explosion of social media. A brilliant guy who
helped make crystallography both fun and interesting.

My condolences,
Jon

Sad news indeed for so many of us, those who knew Alexei personally and
those who benefited professionally from his selfless dedication to
computational crystallography.
A wise man once said something along the lines of anyone successful today
standing on the shoulders of giants of the past. Unfortunately, Alexei has
just become one such giant.
I am so blessed to have known him professionally from my time at IKAN and

I had the pleasure of editing and accepting an article that Alexei Vagin
and his colleague Alexei Teplyakov submitted to the International Tables
for Crystallography Volume F (2nd edition) on the Molrep software.  I'm
sorry to hear the news and extend my condolences to all who knew him.

Very very sad to hear this. I have some great memories of our time together in

A brilliant mind and a good person. Will miss having someone calling me
