23 nov 2018 · Thomas A. Steitz, distinguished molecular and structural biologist, died on 9 October at the age of 78. Tom was known for his unerring judgment in picking fundamentally important problems, and persisting, sometimes for over a decade, until he solved them.
In the 1980s we also determined the first structure of a DNA polymerase, the Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase I (whose discovery by Arthur Kornberg led to his receiving the Nobel Prize) and its complex with a DNA substrate in the 3′-5′ exonuclease active site.
