Educated as an organic chemist (University of Glasgow), Sir Alexander got interested in the complex chemical compounds that abound in living cells. Biologists knew little in those days about these compounds which are so unstable that attempts to study them usually destroy them. Sir Alexander tried a new approach. Applying the subtle methods of organic chemistry, he synthesized, one by one, a wide range of delicate biochemicals, including vitamins E and B1. His research led him to the nucleus of the cell, where the all-powerful genes are stored. These mysterious chemicals, which control heredity and growth, are made...
