  Science Fair Projects - Robert Hill (British biophysicist)
Robert (Robin) Hill (April 2, 1899 — March 15, 1991), was a British plant biochemist who, in 1939, demonstrated the ‘Hill reaction’ of photosynthesis, proving that oxygen is evolved during the light requiring steps of photosynthesis.
Hill was born in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, he was educated at Bedales School and during the First World War served in the Anti-gas Department of the Royal Engineers.
Hill retired from the ARC in 1966 though his research continued until his death in 1991.

Archibald Vivian Hill was a British physiologist and biophysicist who received (with Otto Meyerhof) the 1922 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for discoveries concerning the production of heat in muscles, research which helped establish the origin of muscular force in the breakdown of carbohydrates with formation of lactic acid in the muscle.
Hill's early experiments researched the effects of electrical stimulation on nerve function, the mechanical efficiency of muscle, energy processes in muscle during recovery, the interaction between oxygen and hemoglobin, and quantitative aspects of drug kinetics on muscle.

Hill was elected FRS in 1981 and FEng in 1982.
Hill's interest in the relationship of thermodynamics to photosynthesis is particularly well represented - including a sequence of fifty notebooks used over a period of thirty years from 1960 and drafts of the major papers he submitted for publication to the Royal Society in 1961 and Nature in 1980 but which remained unpublished.
Hill continued to work in other areas most of which are documented including the chemistry of anthraquinone colouring matter in plants in the 1930s, work on dye-stuffs, and the collaboration with A.B. Beakbane and others at the East Malling Research Station on the biology of fruit tree rootstocks.

Light absorbed by chlorophyll or other photosynthetic pigments is used to drive a transfer of electrons and hydrogen from water (or some other donor molecule) to an acceptor named NADP+, reducing it to the form of NADPH by adding a pair of electrons and a single proton (hydrogen nucleus).
