Remembrances of Professor G . N . Ramachandran ( 1922 – 2001

چکیده
Editor’s note: Few scientists contribute an idea of such clarity and power that it appears in all the discipline’s textbooks and bears the author’s name. For the contribution to be relevant and universally employed almost forty years after it first appeared is even less common. Structural biology lost the author of such an idea with the death of G.N. Ramachandran, whose picture appears on the cover of this issue of Protein Science. His seminal contribution is described in remembrances of Professor Ramachandran’s life and career by colleague and co-author of the 1963 paper, C. Ramakrishnan. A perspective by George D. Rose follows, which articulates the enduring impact of that work.

Conformational analysis of N- and C-terminally protected tripeptide model glycyl-isoleucine-glycyl: An ab initio and DFT study
An ab initio and density functional theory (DFT) study about conformational analysis of tripeptide model HCO−GLY−L−ILE−GLY−NH2 is presented. The tripeptide was scanned about initial, central, and final residues, separately while for every scanning procedure the two other residues had been kept in the β conformation and side chain (SC) dihedral angles were maintained on the gauche− (g‾) state (χ...

When I was first introduced to Abel Gance's La Roue, I was rather interested in the fact that it was released in 1922. I knew that this was also the year that James Joyce's Ulysses and T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land were published. I began to wonder why this year produced such significant works of modernism. I repeatedly asked a professor of mine, Bruce Kawin, a number of questions about 1922. My...
