The prizewinners. Part 1.

Stephen Black in extended conversation with Drs Max Perutz and John Kendrew, Nobel Prize-Winners in Chemistry (1962) for their discovery of the molecular structure of haemoglobin and myoglobin, and with Francis Crick, James Watson and Maurice Wilkins, Nobel Laureates in Physiology and Medicine in the same year for their discovery of the molecular structure of deoxyribose nucleix acid (DNA). Also features Sir Lawrence Bragg (1890-1971) talking about the application of x-ray crystallography to molecular biology, and a brilliant short introduction to molecular biology for laymen by the late Professor Michael Swann of Edinburgh University (as he was then). Remarkable for its leisurely but serious approach, absence of hype and for the high intellectual level and clarity of much of the interview material.
