Extractions: UCT will confer an honorary doctorate on Sir Aaron Klug, Nobel Prize winner and President of the Royal Society, this week. Sir Aaron Klug OM FRS was educated at the Universities of the Witwatersrand, Cape Town and Cambridge. In 1962 he joined the British Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology and ultimately became its Director in 1986. His research on the structure and interactions of complex biological molecules earned him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1982. In 1983 he received UCT's Gold Medal of Merit. He was appointed a Member of the Order of Merit by Queen Elizabeth II in 1995. In the same year, he was elected President of the Royal Society. Sir Aaron Klug is one of the trustees of the UCT Trust (UK), a fund-raising Charitable Trust which raises substantial donations and pledges of support for the University in the UK. UCT will confer the honorary doctorate on Sir Aaron at the Faculty of Science graduation ceremony on Friday. Sir Aaron will also be guest speaker at the ceremony.

Extractions: There once was an old man who sat every day in the same seat of a small cafe, doing the New York Times Crossword Puzzle. He came in at different times but always within the hours of eleven in the morning and noon. His order was typically eggs, over medium, with cheese on them, hash browns on the side, but it was not unheard of for him to order something else, like the Jitterbug sandwich, or the Happy Waitress, which always elicited a wisecrack of some sort from the waitress, as is typical when ordering the Happy Waitress. Perhaps he ordered it to hear the wisecracks; on the other hand, he may have liked silly names for sandwiches. In any case, order what he may, he never failed to order coffee, which he drank black. One day in late 1989 he entered the cafe, which was called Sams Cafe, to find a teenage girl in his seat. He was surprised, as the cafe was not crowded, and the waitresses usually did not assign people to his seat unless there were no other seats to assign them to. He checked his watch and found it was 11:52, and he allowed himself a moments annoyance at coming so late and therefore losing his seat. But he did not complain and started towards another table, nearby. No, come sit here, said the girl. She was dressed very shabbily, in a grubby blue sweatshirt which hung from her small frame and a fraying skirt which reached down past her knees. I was hoping to talk to you.

Extractions: There are several items in this file: On 25th June 1997, the President of the Royal Society, Sir Aaron Klug, unveiled the memorial plaque on the wall in Birkbeck College, University of London, just outside the new Rosalind Franklin Laboratory. He had just entertained us with a lecture 'Rosalind Franklin and the Double Helix', (reported below). He paused before the unveiling to reminisce that in weather like this (it had been raining heavily all that day in London) in the older area of laboratory where they worked in the 1950s they sometimes worked under an umbrella beneath leaky skylights. Happily, the new laboratory roof did not leak. Dr Neil McDonald can be seen in the cover picture showing Sir Aaron some of the equipment in the 'Rosalind Franklin Laboratory' . I am grateful to the Crystallography Department, Birkbeck College for copies of their photographs and permission to reproduce them here.

Extractions: Professor Allan MacLeod Cormack, a UCT alumnus, former UCT staff member and joint winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology in 1979, died on May 9 at his home in Winchester, Massachusetts, United States, aged 74. Described as a "modest genius'', the South African-born physicist won the Nobel Prize with Godfrey Hounsfield for his work in developing the powerful computerised axial tomography (CAT) scanning system. CAT scanning is used to capture three dimensional X-ray images of body organs. The system is particularly useful in generating 3D images of the brain. In many cases, CAT scanning has eliminated the need for exploratory surgery. Prof Cormack was a lecturer in UCT's Physics Department in the mid-1950s when the idea behind CAT scanning first came to him. While working part-time in Groote Schuur Hospital's Radiology Department, he became fascinated by the potential of X-rays for generating 3D images of internal organs, rather than flat, conventional two-dimensional pictures. He began developing the mathematical equations necessary for producing these 3D images, and eventually won the Nobel Prize for his work in this field.

Extractions: MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge Aaron Klug was educated at the Universities of Witwatersrand, Cape Town and Cambridge. He began as a medical student, transferred to science, and his PhD at the Cavendish Laboratory was in Physics. He joined the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge in 1962, was the Director of the Laboratory from 1986 to 1996, and now continues as a member of staff, leading a research group on gene expression. He was a colleague of Rosalind Franklin at Birkbeck College in the 1950s soon after the time when her X-ray diffraction of DNA provided key information which allowed Watson and Crick to propose the double helical structure. His own work has been on the interactions of proteins and nucleic acids and on the elucidation of the structures of large biological molecules and assemblies, including simple viruses and chromatin, by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy and on the development of new methods for their study. The principle of his method of 3-D image reconstruction in electron microscopy from a series of 2-D tilted images later formed the basis of X-ray CT scanner. In 1982 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. His current research is on the structure of DNA and RNA binding proteins which regulate gene expression and in particular on the interaction with DNA and RNA of the zinc finger family of transcription factors which he discovered.
