Levitt elected fellow of the Royal Society
Michael Levitt, professor of
structural biology, has been elected a fellow of the Royal Society,
an independent academy founded in the United Kingdom in 1660 to
promote the natural and applied sciences. Levitt was distinguished
"for his highly original work in structural molecular biology," a
field focusing on protein folding and the computational analysis of
structures. Levitt discovered the four classes of protein folds,
introduced automated secondary structure identification and
explained how the structural segments pack. |
