Description | The first of two folders contains correspondence dating from 13 December 1965 to the 22 September 1987. This includes copies of papers by Battersby and his colleagues on biosynthesis of indole alkaloids and studies of enzyme reactions. The correspondence often focuses on the work both are doing, but also includes a small number of letters on the Royal Society, and letters of congratulation for awards and medals. The second folder dates from 1980 onwards, and includes Battersby's work for the Millennium Review, titled ' Tetrapyrolles: the pigments of life' (2001), but also earlier correspondence from Lord Todd, on the nominating Battersby for a Nobel Prize. |
