Hopkin's breakthrough discovery isolated and identified the structure of the amino acid tryptophan, for which he shared the 1929 Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology.
Hopkins both produced pioneering studies in nutritional biochemistry and collaborated with physiologist Walter Morley Fletcher (mentor to future Nobel Laurette A.V. Hill) to study muscle chemistry.
Hopkins won honors -- first professor of biochemistry at Cambridge; knighthood (1925); Copley Medal of the Royal Society (1926); President of the Royal Society (1931); Order of Merit (1935); highest civilian prize -- and actively researched until his retirement, an admirable exemplar for Exercise Nutrition (Baldwin, 1972; Needham and Baldwin, 1949).
