Abstract
In 1962 and 1964, the Nobel Prizes in Chemistry (Tiselius, Nobel lectures: chemistry 1942–1962, Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1964; Natta, Nobel lectures: chemistry 1963–1970, Amsterdam, Elsevier, 1972) were awarded to crystallographers John C. Kendrew (1917–1997), Max F. Perutz (1914–2002), and Dorothy C. Hodgkin (1910–1994) for their work in determining for the first time the 3D structure of several important macromolecules.
