The change of molecular shape is important, says Perutz, "because it is the most elementary manifestation of the property of a living system that can turn chemical energy into movement...
When Booker McConnell & Co., a 150-year-old British-owned sugar and rum company, acquired controlling interest in Master Spy James Bond four years ago, the deal was in deference to Ian Fleming.
