Correspondence with Dr Max Ferdinand Perutz, much of it concerning Perutz and Crick's renewed nomination of Aaron Klug and Donald Caspar for the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, Perutz's draft nomination for which is included.

The file also includes the text (typescript with holograph corrections, photocopied) of a talk given by Perutz on his retirement. The talk takes the form of an informal professional autobiography. The covering letter to Crick (4 October, 1979) notes: "At the end of last week we had a cheerful celebration and I gave the enclosed talk, at the end of which I handed Sydney [Brenner] the key to the laboratory - an absurdly large golden key which the workshop had made for me, with the amber codon carved out as the part that fits the lock."

All correspondence is dated 1976-82, but the file includes a photocopied review article by Perutz, "Two roads to Stockholm" (The New York Review of Books, 13 October, 1988).
