Max Perutz (1914-2002),Austrian-British molecular biologist,photographed at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Laboratory of Molecular Biology,Cambridge. Perutz came to Cambridge in 1936 to study for a PhD in crystallography,eventually turning his attention to X-ray diffraction studies of haemoglobin,the oxygen-carrying protein of blood. After World War II,Perutz directed a MRC Unit in protein studies. In 1953 he & colleagues solved the structure of haemoglobin by comparative X-ray diffraction methods. His first student,J.C. Kendrew used similar methods applied to a related protein,myoglobin. Perutz & Kendrew shared a Nobel Prize in 1962 | |
