Max Perutz is renowned for discovering the structure of hemoglobin. He and his colleagues disclosed the tetrameric structure of methemoglobin in 1970, 33 years after he had set himself that task ...

The atomic structure of hemoglobin, determined by Max Perutz and colleagues 4, showed that this residue position is located on the surface of the protein. The mutation makes sickle cell hemoglobin ...

While the pioneering efforts of Perutz and Kendrew to determine the structures of hemoglobin and myoglobin took years, protein structures now appear at a very rapid rate. Exploring the energy ...

The first protein structures to be solved were hemoglobin and myoglobin, by Max Perutz and Sir John Cowdery Kendrew, respectively, in 1958. The three-dimensional structures of both proteins were ...

Such rings were not found in proteins, which turned out to be built from α-helices and β-sheets, as emerged from the work of William Astbury, Linus Pauling, Max Perutz and others, covered in the ...

In 1965 Perutz, Kendrew and Watson 34 postulated that proline is a helix termination signal, on the basis of the X-ray structures of myoglobin and hemoglobin and of the amino acid sequences of ...

We were working in the Cavendish Laboratory (this was before Max’s [Perutz] hut had been built) and there was a tea-room, but on this particular afternoon we decided not to have tea there.

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have meticulously examined the gametogenesis of budding yeast, a process involving meiosis and spore formation, using live imaging techniques. Their findings ...

THE extensive programme of work on the extra reflexions caused by thermal motion of the crystal lattice, which has been carried out by Lonsdale and her colleagues at the Davy Faraday Laboratory ...
