AN ORDERLY WORLD VIEW was driven by crystallography. “Why water boils at 100ºC and methane at -161ºC; why blood is red and grass is green; why diamond is hard and wax is soft; why graphite writes on paper and silk is strong; why glaciers flow and iron gets hard when you hammer it; how muscles contract; how sunlight makes plants grow and how living organisms have been able to evolve into ever more complex forms…? The answers to all these problems have come from structural analysis.” (Max Perutz)
