He was among the founders of Structural Biology as we know it today.

The title of his 1982 Nobel Prize lecture
 
 'From Macromolecules To Biological Assemblies'
 
sums part of his vast body of scientific work, from X-ray
crystallography to EM, nucleic acid structures to the Human Genome
Project. He also was a supporter of the PDB and the work carried out in
PDBe. 

I was privileged to have met him personally, over cups of tea,
both at Stanford California and in the LMB. His brilliant
scientific mind went hand in hand with his pleasant,civilised,
sometimes funny and immensely interesting persona.   

It is never too late to pay respects.
May he rest in peace
