John Kendrew, who had worked closely with Perutz for years, used the adaptations of the isomorphous replacement method to determine the structure of a smaller related protein, myoglobin, which carries oxygen to muscles.
Sir John Cowdery Kendrew was a British biochemist who determined the three-dimensional structure of the muscle protein myoglobin, which stores oxygen in muscle cells. For his achievement he shared the Nobel Prize for Chemistry with Max Ferdinand Perutz in 1962. Kendrew was educated at Trinity.
