  6. Tom Alber: A large number of firsts First direct observation of the structure of an enzyme intermediate* First trapping of an unstable species by cryo-crystallography* First observation of the effect of the glass transition on binding* First direct observation of a Michaelis complex at equilibrium First proposal of “promoting vibrations” in enzyme catalysis First demonstration of the skeleton in the closet of structural biology: the possible perturbing effects of cryo temperatures on protein structure, dynamics and electronic state * Done when he was still an undergraduate
