ANDREW and Paul Tracey, the brothers who started the whole thing as a last-minute fill-in for a vacant slot at a Johannesburg theatre, play the show as if they had never seen it before. Equally enthusiastic is Kendrew Lascelles, the chief comic, who also devised some of the choreography. Mr. Lascelles, periodically strolling on stage wearing a floor-length black coat and carrying a tuba that he cannot play, looks like a banana waiting to be peeled. He also has a way of bunching up his entire torso into his breast, a trick he's likely to pull...
Perutz and his associate at Cambridge University's medical research council unit for molecular biology--John F. Kendrew--shared the award for their work on the three-dimensional structure of hemoglobin and myoglobin...
...only two proteins have yielded to X-ray analysis of this type--hemoglobin and myoglobin. The latter, which carries oxygen in the muscles, was the first whose structure was determined. Kendrew's model shows it to be a three-dimensional "lace-work of fabulous complexity," devoid of any regular or simplifying features, apart from the alpha-helix...
Perutz' X-ray studies of hemoglobin have not yet reached the same high degree of resolution and show far less detail than Kendrew's X-ray analysis of myoglobin, which Perutz says "opened a rich mine of stereochemical information about protein structure...
Joining Landau as Nobel Laureates last week were British Scientists Dr. John Cowdery Kendrew, 45, and Dr. Max Ferdinand Perutz, 48, of Cambridge's Laboratory of Molecular Biology, who shared the Nobel award for chemistry. After involved experiments using X rays, Perutz and Kendrew mapped the complex three-dimension architecture of two protein molecules-hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood, and myoglobin, which delivers oxygen to muscles. This achievement is an important early step toward a more complete understanding of proteins, the building blocks of all life...
