It is with great sorrow and regret that we announce the untimely death
of Prof. Jeremy N. S. Evans of Washington State University. Jeremy was a
vibrant and respected member of the NMR community whose energy,
intelligence and humor will be deeply missed by all. Many of us knew
Jeremy as an early and steadfast believer in the nascent field of
biomolecular solid state NMR. He was one of the few practitioners
of biomolecular NMR to embrace both solid state and
liquid state methods as a way to address complex biomolecular systems,
bringing the strengths of both techniques to bear on enzyme-substrate
complexes and the like. One of Jeremy's most noted accomplishments was
his technique of 'Time Resolved Solid State NMR' in which enzyme
kinetics are studied using rapid freeze-quenching along the reaction
pathway followed by solid state NMR analysis of the resulting frozen
solution. Jeremy's innovation and his insight into the complexity of
biomolecular problems will undoubtedly be a lasting legacy to the NMR
community and the scientific community at large.
