Donald Louis Dvorak Caspar, an early pioneer in the study of macromolecular
assemblies, who coined the phrase 'Structural Biology', passed away the morning
of November 27, 2021. Through his work, he unveiled key pieces of the logic
underpinning the molecular processes of life: he defined the symmetries that
govern the structure of icosahedral viruses, the conformational switching that
regulates the assembly of macromolecular systems, the relationship between
molecular motions and the diffuse scattering appearing between Bragg
reflections from protein crystals, and other advances. He never stopped talking
about the things that intrigued him, and his unstoppable monologues inspired
and educated a generation of scientists.
