Dorothy Hodgkin quotes about
discovery two important
I once wrote a lecture for Manchester University called « Moments of Discovery » in which I said that there are two moments that are important. There's the moment when you know you can find out the answer and that's the period you are sleepless before you know what it is. When you've got it and know what it is, then you can rest easy.
molecules geometry complexity
The detailed geometry of the coenzyme molecule as a whole is fascinating in its complexity.
molecules complicated experiments
