Sun., Aug. 31th 2014 London Dear All,
Prof. Felix Frolow has passed away, Friday, Aug. 29th 2014. Felix was a true scientist, not the one for PR or short cuts, but the one who always thrived to find the right answer. He was a scientist who knew structural biology in all its levels from the physics behind the X-ray machine and the science of X-ray crystallography, to the biological and chemical mechanisms behind the systems he was investigating. For many years he worked at the structural biology department at Weizmann Institute, Rehovot Israel and then moved to build, from scratch, the X-ray Crystallography Laboratory at the Tel Aviv University, Israel, a lab he headed till his untimely death. Felix was a good friend and colleague. He was an intelligent opinionated person; exchanges with him were never dull. My deepest condolences to his wife and daughters. He will be deeply missed.
