Argentinian mathematician and biochemist Dorothy Maud Wrinch was born #OTD in 1894.

Wrinch is most famous for her controversial cyclol hypothesis (1936). She proposed that proteins were made of interlinked, cyclic structures based on geometric principles. Her cyclol hypothesis faced intense criticism from prominent biochemists, particularly Linus Pauling, who later developed the correct model of protein secondary structure.
