It is a sad day for all of the Structural Biology community, I am finding it hard to believe.

Condolences to his family and friends.

It is really shocking news. He will remembered throughout the world for his excellent tool, PYMOL. May his soul rest in peace.

Still can’t believe it.

Warren was very helpful and responded quick when I needed his
help.

Condolences to the family and friends.

Dear CCP4 Community:

I write today with very sad news about Dr. Warren Lyford
DeLano.

I was informed by his family today that Warren suddenly
passed

away at home on Tuesday morning, November 3rd.

While at Yale, Warren made countless contributions to the
computational tools

and methods developed in my laboratory (the X-PLOR and
CNS programs),

including the direct rotation function, the first
prediction of helical coiled coil

structures, the scripting and parsing tools that made
CNS a universal computational

crystallography program.

He then joined Dr. Jim Wells laboratory at USCF and
Genentech where he pursued

a Ph.D. in biophysics, discovering some of the principles
that govern

protein-protein interactions.

Warren then made a fundamental contribution to biological
sciences by creating the

Open Source molecular graphics program PyMOL that is widely
used throughout

the world. Nearly all publications that display
macromolecular structures use PyMOL.

Warren was a strong advocate of freely available software
and the Open Source

movement.

Warren's family is planning to announce a memorial service,
but arrangements have

not yet been made. I will send more information as I receive
it.

Please join me in extending our condolences to Warren's
family.

Sincerely yours,

Axel Brunger
