Dear All,
It is with a great sadness that I share with you that Alexey Vagin passed away
this Saturday in the Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford after suffering from a heart
attack with subsequent complications. He was 78 years old.
Alexey made many developments in methods and software for macromolec
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
I am very sad to hear this! Alexey was one of my favourites when I was in York,
and I have had many lovely conversations with him. You are right, Eugene, his
contributions have helped and will keep helping many crystallographers and
methods developers.
May his soul rest in peace!

Sorry to hear, he helped me a very long time ago during my PhD time when I
was running into troubles with some of his programs.
The York CCzp4 weekends were fun indeed, finishing off some wines tgat Paul
Adam’s had stored away.

Alexei certainly contributed in MANY ways to Study Weekends!
Fun memories..

Very very sad to hear this. I have some great memories of our time together in
York several of which involve molecular replacement problems, Fortran77 code,
and pubs.
A brilliant mind and a good person. Will miss having someone calling me
'Rapierta' (Roberto pronounced with a Russian accent).
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.
Sincerely,
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. Unfort
So sad.
Alexei was a great scientist and a good friend.
I will have only good memories of him.

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
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.

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!
