Solution
The correct option is D Y. Subba Rao
GN Ramachandran was an Indian physicist who created the Ramachandran plot for understanding peptide structure. He was the first to propose a triple-helical model for the structure of collagen. Y. Nayudamma was a chemical engineer and a scientist who contributed to the initial development of the Central Leather Research Institute at Chennai, India.S.N. Bose was an Indian physicist specialising in theoretical physics best known for his work on quantum mechanics.Y. Subba Rao was an Indian biochemist who discovered the function of adenosine triphosphate as an energy source in the cell and developed methotrexate for the treatment of cancer. He also discovered the basis for hetrazan which was used by the World Health Organization against filariasis.So, the answer is D.
