Edit for section “Biography”
Add that the reason she only received the “equivalent” of a bachelor’s degree but not an actual degree is because “women were not given actual degrees at Cambridge” (cite).

Add that she attended many philosophy lectures at Cambridge, and that she “credited Ernest Baldwin's lectures as the sources of inspiration that led her to pursue biochemistry” (change working and cite).

Change “bachelor of arts” to “bachelor of science”

Book: Women in Biochemistry

Edits for section “Military service”
This whole section is very closely worded to the article on her in the book “women in biochemistry.” I’ll reword it to make it sound better as well as to remove the possibility of plagiarism.

New section will be added titled “Work with mitochondria”
Jennifer Moyle did many research projects involving isolated mitochondria from rat livers. One article, published jointly with Peter Mitchell, outlines their work regarding calcium import into the mitochondria in the rat's liver during respiration. In the article, they state that this importation of calcium happens electrophoretically, and that evidence had already been obtained showing that one electric charge is translocated per calcium ion (Ca2+) imported. (cite) Moyle and Mitchell isolated rat liver mitochondria to investigate their hypothesis that the "calcium porter" is in fact a calcium phosphate porter, defined in the article as a "(Ca2)4+--HPO42- symporter." (cite). Their results were consistent with their hypothesis.

Another experiment that Moyle and Mitchell conducted was an investigation of ways to improve the precision at which the quotients of translocation of a proton to oxygen can be measured, and to find what the optimum conditions are for these measurements. (cite). This experiment was also conducted through isolation of the mitochondria in rat livers.

Addition to the existing section “Work with purified isocitric enzymes”
Current article: Jennifer Moyle published an article on the properties of purified isocitric enzymes in August 1956 with Malcolm Dixon.[10] The article describes the chemical and physical properties of isocitric enzymes, various reactions they are involved in, causes for their inactivation, and a hypothesis for the mechanism of reaction.[10]

My addition: Moyle and Dixon also authored another paper regarding the isocitric enzyme Triphosphopyridine Nucleotide-lined isoCitric Dehydrogenase-Oxalosuccinic Carboxylase. (CITE). Their paper outlines the proper methodology by which said enzyme can be purified.

Article: purification of the isocitric enzyme

Note: I actually might combine the two separate research sections into one titled “Research” or something similar, rather than having multiple sections about her research.

Live edit for Jennifer Moyle article:

The article describes the chemical and physical properties of the isocitric enzyme, various reactions it is involved in, causes for its inactivation, and a hypothesis for its mechanism of reaction.

Post for Jennifer Moyle talk page:

I intend to add additional information to this article about Moyle's major contributions to the scientific community, focusing on her personal research and any awards she has received for it. I will also add more information about her work in the military as well as her education.
