A world-renowned Harvard scientist and expert in highly contagious and deadly viruses mysteriously disappeared in Tennessee early last Friday, leaving a rental car on a Memphis bridge.

Don C. Wiley was in town to visit relatives and attend the annual meeting of the scientific advisory board of St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. Police said there were no signs of foul play, just the car with the keys in the ignition on a bridge that spans the Mississippi River. Police found the car five hours after Wiley left a dinner at a posh hotel several blocks from the bridge.

DON C. WILEY

Quote:

We are studying how the influenza virus binds to cell surfaces by determining the three-dimensional structures of complexes of virus glycoproteins with cell surface molecules. Based on X-ray structural models, we are synthesizing potential inhibition of virus-cell binding. We characterize inhibitor binding by NMR and are using both selected and site-directed mutant proteins with altered receptor affinities to dissect the energetics of the virus-cell interaction.
