About Dorothy Hodgkin: Dorothy Mary Hodgkin was a British biochemist who developed protein crystallography, for which she won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1964.
I should not like to leave an impression that all structural problems can be settled by X-ray analysis or that all crystal structures are easy to solve. I seem to have spent much more of my life not solving structures than solving them.
The detailed geometry of the coenzyme molecule as a whole is fascinating in its complexity.
I first met the subject of X-ray diffraction of crystals in the pages of the book W. H. Bragg wrote for school children in 1925, 'Concerning the Nature of Things.'
