Abstract
It was a Lucky Strike to be working with Eraldo Antonini on hemoglobin and myoglobin when Jeffries Wyman arrived in Rome in 1961. I found myself connected with a number of creative scientists when the concept of allosteric control was conceived and gifted to the life science community. In retrospect, this was a demonstration of the skill and imagination of a few intelligent scientists that I happened to be close to. Those talents demonstrated the power of creativity as pictured by the motto "Mens agitat molem"; a celebration of humanism and intellect that paved the way to novel discoveries in the field of structure function relationships in proteins. I have presented hereby some of the events and the people as emerged from my memory over three decades of exciting scientific life.
期刊介绍：
Biology Direct serves the life science research community as an open access, peer-reviewed online journal, providing authors and readers with an alternative to the traditional model of peer review. Biology Direct considers original research articles, hypotheses, comments, discovery notes and reviews in subject areas currently identified as those most conducive to the open review approach, primarily those with a significant non-experimental component.
