I just happened to have read something about this the other day, but it
dates from 1992.
"... Kendrew's huge myoglobin model was one of the showpieces. ...The
room in which the model was constructed was owned by Electrical
Engineering, and John was told in no uncertain terms that he would have
to get his junk out of that room before the Fall term commenced! Part
of the wire forest model is preserved today in the Science Museum in
South Kensington in London."
From: Protein Science (1992), 1, 182-186. Recollections. "A little
ancient history" by Richard E. Dickerson.
Or, as I read it, reprinted in "Present at the Flood" by R.E. Dickerson,
2005. p269-273.

Dear all, particlarly the history acquainted:
does someone perhaps know where the big metal 2x2x2 meter myo model of
John Kendrew is exhibited? The plasticin sausage is in the Brit Sci Museum.
I thought I saw the metal model there too but the web catalog does not
list it maybe I remember the insulin...too much Boddington's that day.
Thx, br
