who the father of tmv?
Wendell M. Stanley crystallized and described the molecular structure of the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) in 1935, showing that it has properties of both living and non-living matter. TMV was the first virus to be so thoroughly analyzed, beginning a generation of scientists' work describing the molecular structures and propagation of other viruses. In 1943 Stanley isolated the influenza virus and developed an anti-flu vaccine. He won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1946.
