Obituary: Nico van Nuland 1961–2017

Abstract

This tribute to the life and work of Nico van Nuland highlights his interdisciplinary application of biophysical methods, especially high-resolution NMR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations, to improve significantly our understanding of the structure, stability, dynamics and folding of proteins, and particularly of protein-protein interactions. His work as a colleague, team leader and collaborator highlights the importance of building scientific communities and of maintaining them, and of educating new generations of scientists.
