Klaus Schulten was a true leader in modern computational
biophysics, who devoted over 40 years of his life to
establishing the physical mechanisms underlying processes and
organization in living systems from the atomic to the organism
scale. Klaus was a strong proponent of the use of simulations as
a “computational microscope”, 301 to augment experimental
research, and to lead to discoveries that could not be made
through experiments alone. (Please see “Selected Publications
of Klaus Schulten” (DOI: 10.1021/acs.jpcb.7b02902), also
included in this issue, for the references cited here.) Being
genuinely passionate, and quite successful, in applying physical
principles and computational methodologies to biological
problems through advanced algorithms exploiting modern
hardware architectures, his research spanned diverse areas,
ranging from application of quantum physics to vision and
magnetoreception to some of the largest ever molecular
simulations of whole cells and cellular scale structures and
processes. During his impactful career, Klaus published more
than 700 research articles, cited nearly 100,000 times, earning
him an h-index of 140 (Google Scholar, April 2017).
