Book excerpt: Darshan Ranganathan Was Born On June 4, 1941 In Delhi, And Sadly Passed Away On June 4, 2001, From Metastasis Of Cancer, At The Crest Of Her Career, In Hyderabad. After Receiving Her Ph.D. From Delhi University In 1967, Under The Guidance Of Professor T. R. Seshadri, She Spent Two Post Doctoral Years With Professor Barton At The Imperial College, London. She Carried Out Her Own Research At The Indian Institute Of Technology, Kanpur (1970-1972), Regional Research Laboratory, Trivandrum (1993-1998) And At The Indian Institute Of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad (1998-2001). She Won International Acclaim Through Her Prolific Contributions, During The Past Threedecades On A Variety Of Topics. The Chemical Simulation Of The Atp Imidazole Cycle, The Krebs Cycle And The Mechanism Of Action Of Pituitary Hormones Were Her Early Achievements. In The Past Decade, She Is Largely Responsible For The Concept, Design And Synthesis Of Hybrid Peptides That Have Special Properties Of Self Assembling Into Nano Tubes, Efficient Transport Systems And Intricate Topological Surfaces. It Is Unbelievable But True That These Two Ladies Who Worked In Perfect Symbiosis On The Opposite Parts Of The World Have Never Met Personally!Isabella Karle Was Born In Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A. She Received Her Ph.D. Degree In Physical Chemistry In 1944, From The University Of Michigan. Her Field Of Specialization Was Electron Diffraction Of Molecules In The Vapor State. After A Brief Teaching Career At The University Of Michigan, She Joined The Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D.C., Where She Is Still Actively Employed. Her Chief Activities Have Included Crystal Structure Determination Of Natural Products, Peptides And Photo-Rearrangement Products. She Was Instrumental In Devising The Practical Procedure For Extracting Structures From X-Ray Data Obtained From Molecules That Contain Only Light Atoms.
