== Biography ==
Born on 14 November 1932, in [[Shimoga]], in the south Indian state of [[Karnataka]], Viswamitra did his early education at the [[University of Mysore]] and [[Banaras Hindu University]] before securing a PhD from the [[Indian Institute of Science]] (IISc) and joined IISc in 1954.<ref name="The Hindu : Scientist dies after addressing condolence meet">{{Cite web |url=https://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/2001/04/11/stories/0411402j.htm |title=Scientist dies after addressing condolence meet |date=11 April 2001 |website=[[The Hindu]] |access-date=2018-12-18}}{{dead link|date=April 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> He served IISc till his superannuation in 1993 during which time he founded the School of Biocrystallography and the Bioinformatics Centre at the institution. He is reported to have determined the structure of a number of [[Nucleotide|mononucleotides]] for the first time and, along with [[Olga Kennard]], elucidated the [[oligonucleotide]] dp(AT)2 structure leading to the first atomic detail view of a DNA duplex.<ref name="Mysore Ananthamurthy Viswamitra - NeglectedScience" /> His studies have been documented by way of a number of articles{{Refn|group=note|Please see ''Selected bibliography'' section}} and [[ResearchGate]], an online repository of scientific articles has listed 141 of them.<ref name="M.
