About
Victor S. Lamzin is a leading structural biologist whose work lies at the intersection of macromolecular crystallography and computational innovation. He is best known for spearheading the development of *ARP/wARP*, the automated model-building software that revolutionized the field by enabling the rapid and reliable construction of protein structures from experimental X-ray data. This seminal contribution has become a cornerstone of modern structural biology, dramatically accelerating the pace of discovery. Lamzin’s research also extends to the practical challenges of sample preparation, as demonstrated by his work on using 1,8-ANS fluorescence for the quantitative evaluation of crystallization experiments—a method that enhances the efficiency of high-throughput screening. His structural studies, such as the determination of the YagE protein from *E. coli K12*, contribute to our understanding of bacterial evolution and potential drug resistance mechanisms. With over 13,000 citations, Lamzin’s impact is profound, bridging the gap between raw diffraction data and biologically meaningful atomic models, and his tools remain indispensable for structural biologists worldwide.
