 John Kendrew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Cowdery Kendrew (March 24, 1917 – August 23, 1997) was an English biochemist, crystallographer, and Nobel prize winner in the field of chemistry in 1962, a prize shared with Max Perutz, whose group in the Cavendish Laboratory was involved in the investigation of the structure of heme-containing proteins.
He was born in Oxford, son of Wilford George Kendrew, reader in climatology in the University of Oxford and Evelyn May Graham Sandburg, art historian.
Kendrew shared the 1962 Nobel Prize for chemistry with Max Perutz for determining the first atomic structures of proteins using X-ray crystallography.

 John Kendrew - 1962
John Kendrew was born in Oxford in 1917 and educated at Clifton College, Bristol, where an outstanding chemistry teacher inspired him, and from 1936 at Trinity College, Cambridge.
Kendrew found ways of attaching heavy atoms and in 1957 was able to build a rough molecular model and, in 1959, an atomic model - the first of any protein.
The white cord follows the course of the polypeptide chain; the iron atom is indicated by a grey sphere, and its associated water molecule by a white sphere.

 A. A. Barkers Models of Myoglobin
In 1958, John Kendrew and his team reported the first glimpse ever at the structure of a protein, that of myoglobin.
Through this analysis, most of the atoms in the polypeptide chain backbone and the heme group could be resolved with a fair amount of confidence, but not that of the side-chains.
Kendrew's plan was to use components (balls and spokes) provided by C. Beevers, professor of chemistry at the University of Edinburgh.

Jeremiah had been a Baptist but by the time John was born he had become a Unitarian and attended the same chapel as Joseph Priestley.
Mary's first two sons died in infancy, and when John fell seriously ill when he was five years old, it was decided that it would be safer if he went to live with an aunt, Sarah Booth, in the village of Rawdon.
A few months before his father died, Marshall heard that two men in Darlington, John Kendrew, a glass-grinder, and Thomas Porthouse, a watchmaker, had registered a patent for a new flax-spinning machine.

JIGSAW, at one time chaired by John Kendrew (later Sir John Kendrew), who won the Nobel prize for chemistry in 1962, was formed to decide "the role of strategic nuclear weapons in supporting national policy".
Sir John said this weekend that he remembered the presentation of the "Birmingham study" to Britain's senior military officers, including Earl Mountbatten of Burma, then chief of the defence staff, and John Profumo, the Secretary of State for War.
Sir John said the brief to the committee was "to make the military realise that these weapons could be a deterrent and nothing more".

However, only in 1959 did Max Perutz    ; and John Kendrew succeed in deciphering the X-ray diffraction pattern from the crystal structure of the protein ; (hemoglobin and myoglobin, respectively).
Earlier (1953), Perutz found that a structure could be solved by comparing the X-ray diffraction pattern of crystals of native hemoglobin with that of hemoglobin combined with the heavy atom mercury.
Perutz and Kendrew received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for their accomplishments in 1962.
