Description
Molecular diagram captioned ‘The atoms in 42 2Zn insulin molecules (excluding hydrogen) projected along the crystal threefold axis’. The image shows the six insulin molecules in hexameter form round two zinc ions. The whole forms a rhombohedral unit cell of crystal.

Sir Thomas Leon Blundell (b.1942) British biochemist, was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1984.
Dorothy Mary (Crowfoot) Hodgkin FRS (1910-1994) British chemist and crystallographer was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1947.
