Abstract

▶One of the pioneering spirits of protein crystallography has passed away. Professor Louise Napier Johnson, DBE, FRS, died on 25 September 2012, the day before her 72nd birthday. Throughout her career Louise was a leading figure, applying an incisive physics intelligence to problems in biology. As a young graduate student at the Royal Institution, off Piccadilly in London, Louise published a landmark paper in Nature as Miss Louise N. Johnson [Johnson & Phillips (1965). Nature (London), 20, 761–763]. Many years later she assumed leadership roles at Oxford University and at the Diamond synchrotron in Oxfordshire, but never lost her delight in science and unassuming kindness towards those around her, to whom she was a remarkable example.
