RSC Members Press Releases Register Jobs ... Public Activities Chemical Landmarks UK National Historic Chemical Landmarks 14 May 2001, University of Oxford The work of Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin This landmark, which recognised the work of Nobel-prize winning X-ray Crystallographer Dorothy Hodgkin, was celebrated with a special lecture by Professor Sir Tom Blundell entitled "Structural Biology and Crystallography today: the influence of Dorothy Hodgkin on current developments". The lecture took place in the University of Oxford Museum of Natural History. Presentation of the plaque Dorothy Hodgkin elucidated the structures of the antibiotic penicillin and vitamin B12, a treatment for pernicious anaemia, thereby augmenting the synthesis and production of these compounds. Some years later she and her colleagues also discovered the structure of insulin, the hormone responsible for carbohydrate metabolism and employed therapeutically in the management of diabetes Click here to read the press release for this event * These are PDF files and require the Adobe Acrobat Reader Go to Historic Chemical Landmarks Homepage for conferences, careers, news and chemistry resources

FECS Millennium Project 100 Distinguished European Chemists 20th Century Hodgkin, Dorothy (born Crowfoot) Born: Cairo (Egypt), 1910 Died: Warwickshire (England), 1994 Hodgkin studied at the Somerville College, Oxford. She was fascinated by the complex organic structures. As Bernal's assistant she became a crystallographer and obtained her Ph.D. in Cambridge (1937). She worked on the determination of different important compounds: pepsin, sterols, insulin, penicillin and vitamin B12. Hodgkin's work was unique not just for its technical brilliance or its medical importance, but because, at every step she used computing machines of various degrees of sophistication. It was for the work on penicillin and vitamin B12 that she won the Nobel Prize in 1964.

Web Bit 1-1:Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin By Jon Knight Figure 1.1: Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin When Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin was ten years old, she watched her first crystals form on a string dangling in a glass of salt water. Many children before and since have done the same, but in Hodgkin's case, the sparkling geometric shapes kindled a fascination that would lead her to world fame. In 1964, nearly half a century later, Hodgkin received a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for teasing out the structures of penicillin and vitamin B12 from photographic images of their crystals. She made the images with a technique called x-ray crystallography, which involved firing x rays through a crystal to determine the arrangement of the atoms in it. It was a bit like determining the shape of a jungle gym from its shadow. Born in 1910, Hodgkin spent the first few years of her life in Cairo, where her father was an official in the British colonial government. Most of her education had been at home, but once back at school in England, her keen interest in crystals won the attention of her schoolteacher. Hodgkin and a friend got special permission to join the boys studying chemistry. By age 12, she was doing chemistry experiments on rocks she found in her garden to see what they contained. That summer, while visiting her father in Khartoum, Sudan, she met Dr. A.F. Joseph, a friend of her father's and a well-known soil chemist. Joseph took her on a tour of his laboratory. Pleased by her intense interest, he put together a small chemistry set for her, which she took back to England and set up in her mother's attic. It was her first laboratory.

Dorothy Mary Crowfoot Hodgkin Dorothy Mary Crowfoot Hodgkin English chemist whose determination of the structure of vitamin B12 brought her the 1964 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. While at Somerville College, Oxford (1928-32), Hodgkin began her crystallographic studies. While studying for her doctorate at the University of Cambridge in the mid-1930s, she and a coworker took the first X-ray diffraction photograph of the protein pepsin, and somewhat later she made a survey of the sterols. She returned to Oxford as a tutor in 1935, and in 1937 she married the writer and lecturer Thomas L. Hodgkin. She continued to teach at Oxford, eventually becoming emeritus professor there as well as Wolfson research professor of the Royal Society (1960-77), chancellor of Bristol University (1970-88), and fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford (1977-82). From 1942 to 1949 Hodgkin worked on a structural analysis of penicillin. She and her colleagues made the first X-ray photograph of vitamin B12, one of the most complex nonprotein compounds, in 1948, and eventually they completely determined its atomic arrangement. She completed a similar three-dimensional analysis of insulin in 1969. Hodgkin received the Order of Merit in 1965. She helped scientists in India, China and Africa, and worked for peace as president of the "Pugwash" conferences and the BAAS.

Dorothy Hodgkin Though born in the twentieth century, Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin had a typical late-nineteenth century upbringing. She was born in Cairo, Egypt, then a British colony. When Hodgkin was four, the family was back in England and World War I broke out. The parents returned to Egypt, leaving the children with family and governesses for four years. Hodgkin found an interest in chemistry and crystals, a popular hobby for women of leisure in the 1800s. But on her sixteenth birthday, she received a book by William Henry Bragg (a Nobelist in physics) about using x-rays to analyze crystals. She had found her life's work. When Hodgkin graduated from Oxford in 1932, jobs were scarce. She found a position in an x-ray crystallography lab studying biological crystals. This technique helped tease out the structure of molecules. Though diagnosed at age 24 with rheumatoid arthritis, she became one of the most skilled crystallographers of her time. In Cambridge and later at Oxford, she always chose projects that no one else thought quite possible. She ran into Ernst Chain one day, who was beaming from his recent animal trials of

Dorothy Crowfoot-Hodgkin (1910 - 1994) Dorothy Crowfoot nacque al Cairo, dove suo padre lavorava come archeologo; da ragazza lavorò con i genitori negli scavi di una chiesa bizantina in Transgiordania. Laureatasi in chimica nel 1932 ad Oxford, al Somerville College, fu fra i pionieri dell'utilizzazione dei raggi X per la determinazione della struttura molecolare. Sicuramente una donna di grandi capacità, perfino Watson la riconosce come "la miglior cristallografa inglese". Iniziò il suo lavoro determinando la struttura atomica di sali semplici ma in seguito applicò il suo metodo allo studio di molecole più complesse. Fino ad arrivare allo studio dell'attività molecolare biologica, delle proteine, della struttura dell'insulina, dell'emoglobina e dei virus, nonostante che sul lavoro, soprattutto nei primi anni, incontrasse molte difficoltà perché era esclusa da una serie di occasioni di incontro tra ricercatori essendo donna. Nel 1934 studiò e fotografò ai raggi X l'insulina, negli anni '40 riuscì a determinare la struttura chimica della penicillina, premessa necessaria per attuare la sintesi di antibiotici, nel 1955 individuò, in collaborazione con Kenneth Trueblood e con P. Galen Lenhert, che lavoravano negli Stati Uniti la struttura della cyanocobalammina, comunemente nota come vitamina B-12. Divenne membro della Royal Society nel 1947 e nel 1958 dell'American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Nel 1964 le fu assegnato il premio Nobel per la Chimica per le sue ricerche sulla vitamina B-12 e in genere per il suo lavoro nella determinazione della struttura di composti biochimici di primaria importanza.
