According to a press release from ICN, Harrison was the first scientist to determine the three-dimensional structure of a virus. He ushered in an era where the details of virus-cell interactions can be studied at the atomic level. He also analyzed the receptor for HIV and proposed rules of protein-protein interactions...
...Harrison's work was particularly significant in developing new methodology to extend the technique of X-ray crystallography--the diffraction of X-rays from crystals of a substance--to larger structures. He subsequently worked out the full three-dimensional atomic structure of simple virus particles...
...Harrison said he was particularly pleased because the award represents a long history of work he has conducted at Harvard, as a graduate student and faculty member...
...Harrison also said the award reflects the far-reaching implications of his work...
...Ellenberger, a former post-doctoral fellow in Harrison's lab and current assistant professor of biological chemistry and molecular pharmacology, pointed to the mentor side of Harrison...
