not from crystal diffraction data but from information of a DNA fibre X-ray diffraction which they got from Dr. Rosalind Franklin photograph 51 which was shared by Prof. Maurice Wilkins along with his own findings that helped Watson and Crick build the double helix model.
project on which I worked. James Watson was a good friend of Prof. M. A. Viswamitra. Good Golden days !! End of an era of the famous Watson and Crick's - Watson, one of person who solved the first DNA structure..
I was fortunate to work in a small molecule expert Prof. S. Ramakumar's lab, where I refined the structure to small molecular accuracy with help of Dr. Ramagopal U.A. This was the first protein structure from Prof. Ramakumar and Prof. Viswamitra's lab since it was their joint ..
one of the few ultra high resolution structure in the world for a protein of 303 aa size, then. Thanks to Dr. K.R. Rajashankar who collected those data at BNL for us from our beautiful Xylanase crystals. ...
in front of Silcon Graphics Indigo workstation in Prof. M.A. Viswamitra's Office. At that time I was in my 3rd year of PhD. Later I solved the structure at 1.11 A and 0.89 A as well. It was the first highest ultra high resolution crystal structure from India at that time and..
He said to me, after looking at the 1.8 Angstrom map of F10 Family Xylanase structure which I solved, and said "It looks like a text book figure" and smiled at me with his distinct teeth that was close to my eyes on the left..
