Renowned Chinese structural biologist and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Liang Dongcai, passed away in Beijing on June 19, 2024, at the age of 94. Academician Liang was one of the founding figures in China’s structural biology and molecular biophysics. He dedicated his career to protein crystallography and the structural study of biological macromolecules, making pioneering contributions to the three-dimensional structure determination of insulin. In the 1950s, he participated in China’s first successful artificial synthesis of bovine insulin and later used X-ray crystallography to elucidate its spatial configuration—a breakthrough that earned international recognition for Chinese science. Liang served as Director of the Institute of Biophysics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and mentored generations of researchers. Known for his rigorous scholarship and humility, he left an indelible mark on China’s life sciences. His passing is a profound loss to the scientific community, yet his legacy and spirit will continue to inspire future generations in the pursuit of scientific discovery.
中国著名结构生物学家、中国科学院院士梁栋材先生于2024年6月19日在北京逝世，享年94岁。梁栋材院士是中国结构生物学和分子生物物理学的奠基人之一，长期致力于蛋白质晶体学与生物大分子结构研究，在胰岛素三维结构解析方面作出开创性贡献。他于1950年代参与中国首次人工合成牛胰岛素项目，并在后续研究中利用X射线晶体学技术成功解析其空间构型，为我国在该领域赢得国际声誉。梁栋材曾担任中国科学院生物物理研究所所长，并培养了大批科研人才。他一生秉持严谨治学、淡泊名利的科学精神，为中国生命科学发展作出了不可磨灭的贡献。他的离世是中国科学界的重大损失，但其学术遗产和精神风范将激励后人继续探索生命科学的奥秘。
