Nature, 219, 902-09. 1968 CE.

Perutz opened up "the field of 'molecular pathology,' relating a structural abnormality to a disease" (Aaron Klug, "Max Perutz 1914-2002," Science 295 ([2002] 2383). Specifically Perutz showed that hemoglobin molecules collapse into a sickle shape in the blood disorder sickle-cell anemia.
