Item description from seller
John C. Kendrew, "The Three-dimensional Structure of a Protein [myoglobin] Molecule" in "Scientific American", December 1961, vol 205 no. 6; the Kendrew on pp 96-110 in the full issue of 196pp. Original wrappers. GOOD copy (5/10) onlythere is some roughness to the spine (see pic) which takes away from the issue. The text is clean and bright. [++] Kendrew, working on the smaller myoglobin molecule, was the first to take full advantage of the new method. In 1958, he presented the first model ever of a globular protein derived by direct structure determination. The model showed the general outline of the molecule; a second model at atomic resolution followed two years later." Complete Dictionary of Scientific Biography online [++] Seems to me that this paper in Scientific Americanintended for a "general" audience (though even from this platform there were 240 citations) even though the article itself is pretty complex, more like a paper in Nature in today's standards more so than SAaddresses the two earlier landmark papers by Kendrew ("A Three-Dimensional Model of the Myoglobin Molecule Obtained by X-Ray Analysis, 1958, which was the first three-dimensional structure of a protein and Structure of Myoglobin: A Three-Dimensional Fourier Synthesis at 2 Å Resolution 1960). Kendrew shared the 1962 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Max Perutz, for their work investigating the structure of haem-containing proteins. [++] I should note that the famous (or should-be-famous) painting of a three-dimensional model of the myoglobin molecule by Irving Gels is shown in a full-page color illustration, along with a full-scale index model on the following page.
