Max Ferdinand Perutz was an Austrian-born British biochemist, corecipient of the 1962 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his X-ray diffraction analysis of the structure of hemoglobin, the protein that transports oxygen from the lungs to the tissues via blood cells.
Feb 6, 2002 · Max Perutz was born in Vienna, where his father owned a textile factory. After university studies in Vienna, Perutz applied to join Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge in 1936, where he later completed his PhD. During World War II he was involved in defense-related projects and spent some time in Canada.
Feb 21, 2002 · Max Perutz, who died in Cambridge, UK, on 6 February, was one of the principal founders of molecular biology. He was the first person to find out how to determine protein structure by X-ray ...
For Max Perutz, proving that X-rays could reveal the structures of complex, biologically important proteins would require a large dose of inspiration followed by an even larger amount of perspiration. It must have been one of the most embarrassing moments in Max Perutz’s life. Perutz had just presented his proposed structure for haemoglobin ...
