Dorothy Mary Crowfoot Hodgkin OM FRS HonFRSC [9] [10] (née Crowfoot; 12 May 1910 – 29 July 1994) was a Nobel Prize-winning English chemist who advanced the technique of X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of biomolecules, which became essential for structural biology.
John Hodgkin (1766–1845) [1] John Hodgkin (1766–1845) was an English tutor, grammarian, and calligrapher. He married Elizabeth Rickman (1768-1833) of a Sussex Quaker family and together they had four sons of whom the first two died in infancy [2]
These were used by the Nobel Prize winner Dorothy Hodgkin in Oxford. Beevers–Lipson strips were a computational aid for early crystallographers in calculating Fourier transforms to determine the structure of crystals from crystallographic data, [2] enabling the creation of models for complex molecules.

It was in Bernal's research group that after a year working with Tiny Powell at Oxford, Dorothy Hodgkin continued her early research career. [2] Together, in 1934, they took the first X-ray photographs of hydrated protein crystals using the trick of bathing the crystals in their mother liquor, giving one of the first glimpses of the world of ...
Dorothy Hodgkin won the prize in 1964 for the development of protein crystallography. Among her significant discoveries are the structures of penicillin and vitamin B12. Forty five years later, Ada Yonath shared the prize with Venkatraman Ramakrishnan and Thomas A. Steitz for the study of the structure and function of the ribosome.
Somerville College, a constituent college of the University of Oxford [3] in England, was founded in 1879 as Somerville Hall, one of its first two women's colleges.Among its alumnae have been Margaret Thatcher, Indira Gandhi, Dorothy Hodgkin, Iris Murdoch, Philippa Foot, Vera Brittain and Dorothy L. Sayers.

He was a member of the team of Dorothy Hodgkin that solved in 1969 the first structure of a protein hormone, insulin. Blundell has made contributions to the structural biology of polypeptide hormones , growth factors , receptor activation, signal transduction , and DNA double-strand break repair , subjects important in cancer , tuberculosis ...
