I met Fumio first in 2001 at the Keihanna International Conference on Molecular Biophysics in Kyoto, a meeting which he had organized to facilitate international exchange in methodology and application of direct measurements of solution interactions of biological macromolecules. It was a memorable meeting not only scientifically but also for first meeting Fumio's warm hospitality and friendship. Shortly afterwards, I had the opportunity to work with him scientifically (Ali et al. 2003; Zhao et al. 2015) and am thankful for being introduced on this occasion to the fascinating biophysics of bacteriophages. Our work on the self-association of gp57A was an early application of global direct boundary modeling of rapidly reacting interacting system, and due to the combined use of calorimetry, AUC, and CD, it was additionally important in providing stimulation for the later development global multi-method analysis (GMMA) (Zhao and Schuck 2012).
