Publisher's description:

Born in Vienna, Jewish by descent, lapsed Catholic by religion, Max Perutz came to Cambridge in 1936, to join the lab of the legendary Communist thinker J D Bernal. There he began to explore the structures of the protein molecules that hold the secret of life. This biography has the zest of an adventure novel and contains different characters.
