  Dorothy Wrinch
Dorothy was raised in England, and in 1913 began her studies in mathematics and philosophy at Girton College, Cambridge University.
In Wrinch's theory, the spatial structure of proteins (known to be the source of their functional versatility) was built of fabrics instead of the chains that then current chemical theory assumed to exist on the basis of inferences from the results of analytic protein chemistry.
Wrinch took diagrams of the structures of related chemical and biological substances and fitted them into the "template" of living matter; that is, the geometric surface pattern of the atoms in her ultimate life unit.

 Wrinch biography
Although Dorothy was born in Argentina, Ada and Hugh were British and they returned to Surbiton, which is 19 km southwest of central London, where Dorothy was brought up.
Wrinch remained at Cambridge undertaking research in mathematics until 1918 when she moved to University College in London.
A measure of her research activity during this period is that from 1918 to 1932 Wrinch published twenty papers on pure and applied mathematics, and sixteen papers on scientific methodology and the philosophy of science.

She made the connection between the linear sequence of the gene and of the amino acids in the polypeptide chain.
During her career, Wrinch investigated the structure of globular protein molecules, including egg albumin and was engaged in a scientific controversy over the structure of globular proteins.
She was a prolific writer and produced papers dealing with topics including interpretation of x-rays studies of crystals and proteins, Fourier transformations, mineralogy, and the structure of protein crystals.
