Science Is Not A Quiet Life: Unravelling The Atomic Mechanism Of Haemoglobin

By: Max F Perutz

Linus Pauling called haemoglobin the most interesting and important of molecules. This important volume shows how X-ray crystallography was used to determine its bewilderingly complex atomic structure and to unravel the stereochemical mechanisms of its respiratory functions. It introduces isomorphous replacement with heavy atoms which led to the first protein structures, haemoglobin and its simpler relative myoglobin. Later papers deal with the stereochemistry of the cooperative effects of haemoglobin, with the relationships between the structures and impaired functions of abnormal haemoglobin, with species adaptation of haemoglobin, and with its action as a drug receptor and as an oxygen sensor. The final papers deal with amino acid repeats which act as polar zippers and their role in certain inherited neurodegenerative diseases.

Evolutionary Biology

Volume 15

By: Max K. Hecht,Bruce Wallace,Ghillean T. Prance

Fifteen volumes and one supplement have now appeared in the series known as Evolutionary Biology. The editors continue to seek critical reviews, original papers, and commentaries on controversial topics. It is our aim to publish papers primarily of greater length and depth than those normally published by society journals and quarterlies. The editors make every attempt to solicit manuscripts on an international scale and to see that no facet of evolutionary biology-classical or modern-is slighted. Manuscripts should be sent to anyone of the following: Max K. Hecht, Department of Biology, Queens College of the City University of New York, Flushing, New York 11367; Bruce Wallace, Department of Biology, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, Virginia 24061; Ghillean T. Prance, New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, New York 10458. The Editors vII Contents 1. Patterns of Neotropical Plant Species Diversity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 Alwyn H.

Is Science Necessary?

Essays on Science and Scientists

By: Max F. Perutz

Max Perutz, who won the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1962 has made major contributions in the field of molecular biology, and particularly on the structure and functions of proteins and nucleic acids. In this book, aimed at the general reader, he examines the role of science in society, and makes a powerful case for the essential benevolence and humanizing influence of the scientific process in its approach to the great problems of our world. He takes us into the three main areas in which science and human problems interact, the areas of food-production, health and medicine, and energy. In each case the problems we face - for example the endemic undernourishment and near-starvation throughout the third world, the unsolved problems of cancer and heart disease, the total dependence of our civilization on dwindling fossil-fuel supplies - are still, in his view, susceptible to scientific solutions.
