Timeline: Dorothy Hodgkin and her contributions to biochemistry
Judith A. K. Howard1 About the author
Abstract
The components of cells are molecules — non-living structures that are built up of atoms. It was Dorothy Hodgkin's life's work to determine the three-dimensional structures of many biologically important molecules using the relatively new technique of X-ray diffraction. For this pioneering work, she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1964.
