In principle, X-ray diffraction from contracting muscle fibres could tell us how the component molecules were moving but, until I came across the work of the Nobel Prize Winner Julius Schwinger on the theory of synchrotron radiation, we lacked enough X-ray intensity. Our subsequent search for \u2018rings of electrons\u2019 led us to the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) in Hamburg. Together with Gerd Rosenbaum, who had fortunately joined me as a doctoral student, we set up equipment that enabled us to use this beam to get a diffraction pattern from a muscle specimen \u2013 achieving a ten-fold gain in intensity, high optical quality, and <a title=\"Light years ahead\" href=\"http:\/\/news.embl.de\/science\/1501-crystallography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">we are still witnessing its open-ended potential today<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"p1 wp-block-heading\">EMBL Hamburg was born<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2\">The work redefined the aims of the future EMBL. At a meeting of the steering committee in Konstanz in 1969, there was a consensus that EMBL should specialise in large projects that could not be undertaken by national labs, such as synchrotron radiation. This resulted in an <a title=\"EMBL Hamburg\" href=\"http:\/\/www.embl-hamburg.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EMBL outstation in Hamburg<\/a>, set up by Gerd and I \u2013 we built the world\u2019s first ever X-ray beamline at DESY, before EMBL officially existed. Today, alongside recombinant DNA technology, the technique is one of the twin pillars of molecular biology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"vf-blockquote\">\n<p>Today, alongside recombinant DNA technology, the technique is one of the twin pillars of molecular biology.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"p1 wp-block-heading\">Lots of Bessel Functions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2\">I did my PhD on the structure of the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) at Birkbeck College London with Rosalind Franklin. Very sadly, she died of cancer before I had finished. I completed my doctorate with Aaron Klug, with whom I spent the next decade and more working out the atomic structure of TMV. This is a fibre diffraction problem and involves lots of Bessel functions. From this work I gained the expertise that enabled me to calculate the expected intensities of synchrotron radiation from Schwinger\u2019s complex formula and later apply methods I learned to solve the structure of actin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"p1 wp-block-heading\">Heidelberg adventure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2\">Coming to Heidelberg in 1968 was something of an adventure. From an initiative originating in part from my young department at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research, Heidelberg was offered as a site for EMBL. Founding director John Kendrew, a personal friend and colleague at the Laboratory for Molecular Biology in Cambridge, asked my wife Mary to set up the <a title=\"Szil\u00e1rd Library\" href=\"http:\/\/www.embl.de\/services\/library\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Szil\u00e1rd Library<\/a>. I also joined Heidelberg\u2019s rowing club \u2013 probably more valuable than many years of health insurance. Now we\u2019ve settled in the M\u00fchltal in Handschuhsheim. Meanwhile, EMBL has gone beyond just large science. Most important, it offers a unique venue where young scientists from all over can come to do excellent research and meet to form friendships and collaborations that are truly pan-European.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"vf-figure wp-block-image  | vf-figure--align vf-figure--align-centered  size-full wp-image-3229\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"380\" class=\"vf-figure__image\" src=\"http:\/\/news.embl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/1501-holmes-1.jpg\" alt=\"Ken Holmes, one of the visionaries behind the establishment of EMBL and the EMBL Hamburg outstation.
