5.0 out of 5 stars hanging by a thread, 3 April 2009
By Mr. Aj Baugh "xrd" (hull) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Max Perutz and the Secret of Life (Paperback)
This book is good. Hatbox model is discussed and the high spin, low spin transition is explained in terms of tense and relaxed ,for the operation of haemoglobin (iron protein in English). This system is quantum mechanics and is known as a switching system from high spin,low spin mechanics. There are photos and diagrams which are always a plus. Perutz worked on glacier movement which was a plus as it gives you an idea of movement on a molecular scale when you work in x ray. Hanging by a thread explains the tense and relaxed state of a hangman's rope from a simple analogy of my own. No offence intented.
