This was a fortunate arrangement. Not only did Mirsky (Alfred) teach me how to handle proteins in the laboratory - they are far more delicate than inorganic substances - but he also gave me a great amount of information about the properties of proteins and especially about denaturation of proteins. The result of this collaboration...

The same year that he and protein researcher Alfred Mirsky published their ideas on denaturation, a brilliant and unconventional British scientist gained worldwide attention with her own, very different, ideas about proteins.
