Aaron Klug (born Zelvas, Lithuania, August 11 1926) is a Lithuanian-born British physicist and chemist, and winner of the 1982 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his development of crystallographic electron microscopy.Having moved to South Africa at the age of two, he graduated with a degree in science at the University of Witwatersrand and studied crystallography at the University of Cape Town before moving to England, completing his doctorate at Trinity College, Cambridge in 1953.
Working with Rosalind FranklinRosalind Elsie Franklin ( July 25, 1920 April 16, 1958) was a molecular biologist who assisted in the discovery of the structure of DNA. Rosalind Franklin was born in London, England, and graduated from Cambridge University in 1941. Because of the ongoing in John Bernal's in London aroused a lifelong interest in the study of virusesA common alternate meaning of virus is computer virus. Other meanings, as well as a discussion of pluralization, are at plural of virus''. bacteriophage (left center); an animal virus (top right); and a retrovirus (bottom right). Viruses depend on the hos, and during his time there in the late 1950s made discoveries in the structure of the tobacco mosaic virusThe Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is an RNA virus that infects plants, especially tobacco, showing characteristic patterns (mottling and discoloration) on the leaves (thus the name). It was the first virus to be discovered. In 1883 Adolf Mayer first describe. Over the following decade Klug used methods from X-ray diffraction, microscopy and structural modelling to develop crystallographic electron microscopy in which a sequence of two-dimensional images of crystals taken from different angles are combined to produce three-dimensional images of the target.
