Max Perutz: interview http://www.vega.org.uk/video/programme/1 A young man in his 17 claimed that only winning a Nobel prize can justify his career change from inheriting his father's textile factory to studying Chemistry. A researcher spent 22 years to elucidate one protein's structure, which has several thousands of atoms and was quite beyond any scientist's imagination at that time. A man finally proved that oxygen carrying ability of Haemoglobin comes from its structure and relevant chemical bonds. A pioneering biophysicist finally earned his Nobel prize in 1962, and was the founder of the Laboratory for Molecular Biology in Cambridge, the birthplace of modern molecular biology. It is nobody but Max Perutz. He also gave some useful tips how to run a scientifically active research group, how to choose a research topic and how to run a seminar to reward everybody. I am quite surprized to find that this great man had a unforgetable experience of being in prison of citizens of enemy countries in Canada for several years during the World War II. Amazingly, he, united with other scientists, opened a prison university to give bright kids a education even in such a distressing time. END

Do science like ina competition. Champion is only one in an campetition event. Only a few successful professional athletes guard their positions in the end. When they lose physical strength, they gain experience andchange role to become a coach going on to screen out champions. This is the great life of a scientist.
Information on acceptable lengths of papers in various categories can be found on our general information for authors page. One page in the journal contains approximately 1000 words and one small figure. Use double-spacing throughout the text, references and notes, tables, and figure legends; leave margins of at least 1.25 inches (~3 cm). Electronic files should be formatted for standard U.S. letter paper (8.5 11). Here are some things to keep in mind in crafting a manuscript for a typical Science Research Article, Report, or Review submission: Titles should be no more than 90 characters. One-sentence summaries capturing the most important point should be submitted for all papers. Authors and their affiliated institutions , linked by superscript numbers, should be listed beneath the title on the opening page of the manuscript. Subheadings are used only in Research Articles, Reviews, and invited special-issue articles. Use descriptive clauses, not full sentences. Two levels of subheadings may be used if warranted; please distinguish them clearly. Abstracts explain to the general reader why the research was done and why the results are important. They should start with some brief BACKGROUND information: a sentence giving a broad introduction to the field comprehensible to the general reader, and then a sentence of more detailed background specific to your study. This should be followed by the RESULTS, or if the paper is more methods/technique oriented an explanation of OBJECTIVES/METHODS and then the RESULTS. The final sentence should outline the main CONCLUSIONS of the study, in terms that will be comprehensible to all our readers. The abstract should be 125 words or less. Text starts with a brief introduction describing the paper's significance, which should be intelligible to readers in various disciplines. Technical terms should be defined. Symbols, abbreviations, and acronyms should be defined the first time they are used. All tables and figures should be cited in numerical order. References and notes (see examples of Science reference style ) are numbered in the order in which they are cited, first through the text and then through the references and the table and figure legends. Each reference should have a unique number; do not combine references or embed references in notes (this is a change from previous Science style). Any references to in-press manuscripts or personal communications should be given a number in the text and placed, in correct sequence, in the references and notes. Such references should not, however, be used to support claims or conclusions. We do not allow references to unpublished data in support of claims or conclusions; necessary data should be included in the manuscript, its Supporting Online Material, or an approved archival database. Do not use op. cit. or ibid in references. Acknowledgments , including all funding information, accession numbers, and any clarification regarding conflicts of interest of the authors, should be gathered into a brief statement at the end of the references and notes. Tables should be included after the references and should supplement, not duplicate, the text. Each table should be presented with its legend double-spaced above the table. The first sentence of the legend should be a brief descriptive title. Every vertical column should have a heading consisting of a title with the unit of measure in parentheses. Units should not change within a column. Figure legends should be double-spaced in numerical order. No single legend should be longer than about 200 words. Nomenclature, abbreviations, symbols, and units used in a figure should match those used in the text. The figure title should be given as the first line of the legend. Any individually labeled figure parts or panels (A, B, etc.) should be specifically described by part name within the legend. Schemes (e.g., structural chemical formulas) can have very brief legends or no legend at all. Schemes should be sequentially numbered in the same fashion as figures. Supporting online material is posted permanently on Science Online, is linked to the manuscript, and is freely available. Supporting online material includes materials and methods, plus extra text, figures, tables, and references that are important for the integrity of the paper. Online sound files, video clips, and more complex data may also be acceptable, as described in our detailed instructions for preparing and submitting supporting online material . Figures should be submitted electronically as part of the manuscript file upload . For initial submission, figures may be embedded directly in the manuscript file; allowable formats for manuscript files are .pdf, .ps, .eps, .prn, .doc, .wpd, as discussed below . Do not send irreplaceable artwork; we will not return submitted figures or disks. Authors submitting revised manuscripts after peer review will receive more specific information about electronic submission of art for publication; at the initial-submission stage, we ask that authors consult our tips for preparing efficient figures to assure a smooth manuscript upload. Most figures will not be relabeled by Science . The size of figures, when printed, will usually be 5.5 cm (2.25 inches or 1 column) or 12.0 cm (4.75 inches or 2 columns) in width. Bar graphs, simple line graphs, and gels may be reduced to a smaller width. Symbols and lettering should be large enough to be legible after reduction. Avoid wide variation in type size within a single figure. In the printed version of the figure, letters should be about 7 points (2 mm) high. High-resolution images can be included as supporting online material. Science does not allow certain electronic enhancements or manipulations of micrographs, gels, or other digital images. Figures assembled from multiple photographs or images must indicate the separate parts with lines between them. Linear adjustment of contrast, brightness, or color must be applied to an entire image or plate equally. Nonlinear adjustments must be specified in the figure legend. Selective enhancement or alteration of one part of an image in not acceptable. In addition, Science may ask authors of papers returned for revision to provide additional documentation of their primary data. If possible, use scale bars in place of, or in addition to, magnification numbers; the scale bar units should be specified in the figure legend. In gels, the lanes should be numbered and identified by number in the figure legend. Graphs should be labeled on the ordinate and abscissa with the parameter or variable being measured, the units of measure, and the scale. Scales with large or small numbers should be presented as powers of 10. Definitions of symbols should usually appear in the figure legend and not in the figure. Simple solid or open symbols ( , , , , , , , and ) reproduce well. Avoid the use of light lines and screen shading . Instead, use black-and-white, hatched, and cross-hatched designs for emphasis. Use heavy lines or boxes for emphasizing or marking off areas of the figure. Additional design guidelines can be found in our tips for preparing efficient figures . Composite figures should be labeled A, B, C, etc. Digital color art should be submitted as CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) rather than RGB (Red, Green, Blue). Composite figures should be labeled A, B, C, etc. Authors are charged $650 for publication of the first color figure and $450 for each additional color figure. There is an additional charge for color figures in the reprints. Lettering in Helvetica font is preferable for figures. Use boldface type for axis labels and for part labels (A, B, etc.) in composite figures; use italic type only as it would be used in the text (e.g., for variables and genes). The first letter of each entry should be uppercase; otherwise, use uppercase letters as they would be used in the text (e.g., for acronyms). Sequences may be reduced considerably, so the typeface in the original should be clear. There should be about 130 characters and spaces per line for a sequence occupying the full width of the printed page and about 84 characters and spaces per line for a sequence occupying two columns. Units should be metric and follow SI convention.
