Dear Felix, I now, of course. The molecule on the picture look like consisting of rather light atoms, and I would be very impressed if the instrumentation and software at that time allowed the reliable detection of the hand from that particular molecule. I don't assume Dorothy Hodgkin made a mist

Anomalous signal analysis is quite early development in structural biology. There are couple of classical papers by Bijvoet in the first issues oaf Acta Crystallographica. Presently I am out of ability to find exact references :-/ Dr Felix Frolow Professor of Structural Biology and Biotechnol

Dear Javier, without the analysis of the anomalous signal you have a 50:50 chance to get the correct configuration, and those times were too early for that. The comment may have been added later and/or from using a different type of experiment. Best, Tim On 05/13/2014 02:21 AM, Javier Gonzalez w

Interestingly, that molecule has the opposite configuration. The actual modelhas a posting saying "(wrong absolute configuration)". I wonder what's the story behind it... On

Actually, it was noticing penG that made me mouse over it myself. After spending many years completing a thesis on beta-lactamases, I was very surprised - and excited - to see that on something as main-stream as Google. But then when I paid attention more closely, I saw that they even have a good r

Check out google.com. They're announcing what would have been Dorothy Hodgkin's 104th b-day. I saw the molecule, and said to myself, "My goodness, that's penicillin G," and the mouseover announced the big day. She was a great scientist and a friend to thousands of us. Bob ==
