G.N. Ramachandran, the eminent biophysicist whose contributions included the discovery of the triple helical structure of collagen and the development of the ‘Ramachandran Plot,’ truly deserved the Nobel Prize, former Director General of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) Shekhar C. Mande said here on Friday.
The contributions of Dr. Ramachandran are as profound as that of Nobel laureate C.V. Raman, if not more, Dr. Mande said, delivering the Dr. G. N. Ramachandran Memorial Lecture at Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology (RGCB). He observed that the younger generation was not really aware of the outstanding scientific output of Dr. Ramachandran.
