Popis: Dr. Bhabatarak Bhattacharyya, a chemist turned biologist, is an eminent and distinguished scientist in the field of biophysical chemistry. He devoted his entire life in understanding a very interesting cytoskeletal protein, tubulin that polymerizes to form microtubules. He discovered a novel chaperone activity of tubulin and elucidated the folding/unfolding pathways of tubulin. He characterized the binding of different anticancer drugs to tubulin and most importantly contributed in unfolding the mystery of colchicine binding to tubulin. His contribution towards the scientific community will always be cherished and appreciated
