What did dorothy hodgkin discover?

Dorothy Hodgkin was a British biochemist. She is known for developing protein crystallography. She was also known for the advancement of the technique X-ray crystallography, which is a way to determine the three-dimensional structures of molecules.


What did Dorothy Hodgkin do for a living?

Dorothy Mary Crowfoot Hodgkin [May 12, 1910-July 29, 1994] was a British chemist. She pioneered the use of X-ray crystallography, by which the three-dimensional structures of biomolecules could be determined. With this method, she confirmed the structures of cholesterol, in 1937; the wonder drug penicillin, in 1945; vitamin B12, in 1954; and insulin, in 1969. Additionally, she confirmed the structures of ferritin, lactoglobulin, and the dreaded tobacco mosaic virus. For her achievements regarding vitamin B12, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, in 1964.


What did Dorothy Hodgkin invent?

Dorothy Mary Hodgkin, OM, FRS (12 May 1910 - 29 July 1994) was a British founder of protein crystallography; prior to her marriage, she was known as Dorothy Mary Crowfoot. She pioneered the technique of X-ray crystallography, a method used to determine the three dimensional structures of biomolecules. Among her most influential discoveries are the determination of the structure of penicillin and vitamin B12, for which she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. In 1969, after 35 years of work and five years after winning the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Hodgkin was able to decipher the structure of insulin. She is regarded as one of the foremost scientists in the field of X-Ray crystallography studies of natural molecules. Besides her extraordinary scientific abilities, she was unassuming, very communicative, and passionate about social inequalities and peace. She did not invent anything; she got a Nobel Prize for figuring out the structure of lots of important stuff to our staying alive. As in vitamin B-12 and other stuff about the body.
