Yes, Martin died peacefully at home in his sleep Saturday evening. His impact was large and on many levels for those of us that had the opportunity to work with him.
Just to add to the sad news on #chemsky right now: I've now had it confirmed to me that Martin Karplus died on Saturday.

Saddened to learn today of Martin Karplus’ passing over the weekend. He was an absolute luminary and founding force in computational chemistry and biophysics. His influence will be felt for many generations of scientists. May he rest in peace.
