Title: Dorothy Hodgkin and Her Wizardry With Crystals and Molecules.
Authors: Khan, Sofia A.1 (AUTHOR), Thomas, Sajesh P.1 (AUTHOR) sajesh@iitd.ac.in
Source: Resonance: Journal of Science Education. Feb2025, Vol. 30 Issue 2, p175-190. 16p.
Subject Terms: Women in science, X-ray crystallography, Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Vitamin B12, Crystallography
Abstract: Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin's groundbreaking contributions revolutionized structural chemistry and crystallography while reshaping the societal perception of women in science. Her pioneering work in X-ray crystallography decoded some of the most precious secrets of the biomolecular and medicinal world, including the structures of insulin, penicillin, and vitamin B12, for which she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1964. Her journey—from a young girl fascinated by patterns of symmetry in ancient mosaic floors to becoming one of the most iconic scientific figures of the 20th century—provides an enduring source of inspiration. Glimpses into Dorothy Hodgkin's contributions also underscore the major developments in X-ray crystallography over the last century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
