 * ... that when Barbara Low and Dorothy Hodgkin determined the structure of penicillin in 1945, it was the largest molecule ever to be successfully investigated by X-ray crystallography? Source: "Penicillin is a small molecule by today’s standards, but in 1945 when the structure was revealed, it was the largest molecule that had been solved with X-ray crystallography."

 * Symbol question.svg New and long enough. The hook is sourced and mentioned in the article, although DYK rule 3b require that the citation "appear[s] no later than the end of the sentence(s) offering that fact," and as such I've added the citation to the end of the corresponding sentences in the article. Non-free rationale for image has been filled out. Article is neutral with inline citations ... for the most part; her death date and the last sentence in the Personal life section are unsourced. Since QPQ has been done, the article will be ready to go once the missing citations are added. Bennv3771 (talk) 21:32, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Though I did check for copyvio issues, I forgot to comment on it above so: only issues picked up by earwig's copyvio detector are for a few job titles, institute names and common phrases that cannot be/are difficult to paraphrase. Bennv3771 (talk) 23:00, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
