Correspondence between Wilkins and Heinz Dieter Middendorf, formerly of the Department of Biophysics, King’s College London, chiefly relating to a grant application to the Science and Engineering Research Council.
Also texts of articles by Middendorf: ‘Neutron Spectroscopy and Protein Dynamics’, co-written by John Turton Randall, published in Structure & Motion: Membranes, Nucleic Acids & Proteins (edited by E Clementi, G Corongiu, M H Sarma & R H Sarman, Adenine Press, New York, 1985); ‘Biophysical applications of quasi-elastic and inelastic neutron scattering’, published in Annual Review of Biophysics and Bioengineering, 1984; ‘Biomolecular applications of neutron spectroscopy: current work and future developments” published in Neutron scattering in the nineties (International Atomic Energy Agency, 1985).
Also copy correspondence between Middendorf and Randall, Oct 1978 and Feb-Aug 1982, written during acrimonious periods in their working relationship, and suggestions by Middendorf, 1993, on how Wilkins should write about Randall and Rosalind Franklin in his planned autobiography.
