Under Lipscomb's direction, after the training task of determining the structure of the small molecule methyl ethylene phosphate,[62] Steitz made contributions to determining the atomic structures of carboxypeptidase A [50] [63] [64] [65] [66] [67] [68] [69] and aspartate carbamoyltransferase. The size of this structure was ambitious.

1967 March;. [70] Steitz was awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for determining the even larger structure of the large 50S ribosomal subunit, leading to an understanding of possible medical treatments.

Subsequent Nobel Prize winner Ada Yonath, who shared the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Thomas A.

Steitz and Venkatraman Ramakrishnan, spent some time in Lipscomb's lab where both she and Steitz were inspired to pursue later their own very large structures.[71] This was while she was a postdoctoral student at MIT in 1970.

The mineral lipscombite (picture at right) was named after Professor Lipscomb by the mineralogist John Gruner who first made it artificially.

Low-temperature x-ray diffraction was pioneered in Lipscomb's laboratory[72][73][74] at about the same time as parallel work in Isadore Fankuchen's laboratory[75] at the then Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn.
