Dear Colleagues, This is is very sad news. Vijayan combined a very active research programme with his leading domestic initiatives whether it was an Indian synchrotron radiation source, the ESRF participation by India or supporting structural molecular biology initiatives in India. Also he often led the Indian national delegation to our international meetings. I vividly recall our research collaboration on molecular dynamics of the saccharide bound peanut lectin crystal structure, including hosting Dr Gail Bradbrook from Manchester for a research visit on this. When I read Vijayan’s Memoires recently I got an even bigger and deeper picture of his upbringing and contributions to science. Also, knowing just how polite Indians are, his criticisms of the British ‘rule’ of India really hit home. Rest in peace Vijayan, you will be very much missed. Yours sincerely, John Emeritus Professor John R Helliwell DSc
