A three-dimensional model of the myoglobin molecule obtained by x-ray analysis.

KENDREW, Sir John Cowdery (1917 – 1997)
KENDREW, Sir John Cowdery (1917 – 1997) DINTZIS, Howard M.

Initial paper on the first solution of the three-dimensional molecular structure of a protein. Computing the molecular structure in 3 dimensions was possible through the use of the Cambridge EDSAC stored-program elect…
