Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Myoglobin was the first protein whose complete tertiary structure was determined by X-ray crystallography in 1958 by John Kendrew and his colleagues. The structure determination of myoglobin opened the door to the field of structural biology and laid the foundation for the determination of the structures of other important biomolecules, including hemoglobin, insulin, and collagen.
