Forest of Rods model of myoglobin

Forest of Rods model of myoglobin

Part of model of myoglobin ("forest of rods") constructed in 1960 during work on the structure of the molecule to a resolution of 2 Angstroms: it comprises steel rods with meccano clips in wooden base-boards with Kendrew-type skeletal models showing the peptide chain

The British crystallographer John Kendrew and the Austrian-British molecular biologist Max Perutz built this remarkable model to represent the molecular structure of myoglobin, a compound that stores oxygen in muscles. The two scientists won the 1962 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work determining the structure of this and other globular proteins.

Measurements:
overall: 1700 mm x 2500 mm x 1750 mm,
Materials:
steel (metal) , aluminium (metal) , plastic (unidentified) and plywood
Object Number:
1977-219 Pt3
type:
myoglobin models and molecular models
