Claim to Fame:
Klug is British chemist and biophysicist who was awarded the 1982 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the development of crystallographic electron microscopy and discoveries into nucleic acid-protein complexes. Crystallographic electron microscopy uses the same principles of x-ray crystallography, but uses electrons instead of x-rays to determine the structure. The process also takes two images from slightly different angles to create a stereo three dimensional image.
