British Jews Category

According to "J. D. Bernal, The Sage of Science", by Andrew Brown,page 144 : "The silence was broken by one of them barking at him in a thick New York accent: 'What religion are you?' Perutz said as calmly as he could 'Roman Catholic'", so how come he is in British Jews category? Avihu (talk) 23:37, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

:This cannot be an answer, but it depends on the context of the retort and the definition of the category. In later life, Perutz was notably agnostic/atheistic, so his Jewish heritage may have become as or more significant than the Catholic aspect of his education. I equally would in some situations have answered the same question with "Church of England" even though I am an agnostic and feel culturally more Jewish than anything.

:(All but one of my great-great-grandparents were Jewish, which I understand to be similar to Max Perutz's situation)PhysicistQuery (talk) 18:12, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

Early life and education: As protein crystals were difficult to obtain he used horse haemoglobin crystals ??

This might be taken to imply hemoglobin is not a protein!

Hemoglobin was readily available in large quantity, and crystallization procedures had already been published. (quite a number of other proteins had been crystallized also).Eaberry (talk) 04:16, 6 December 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eaberry (talkcontribs) 04:10, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
