Life Is A Relationship Among Molecules And

...it Would Be Possible To Make Much More Progress Than Has Been Made If The Nci Knew Its Job Better, Knew How To Make Discoveries...the Nci Really Does Not Know How To Make Discoveries....so Long As The Nci Is Not Willing To Follow Up Ideas That Seem Good To People Who Have Had Experience Making Discoveries, The Work Of The Nci Is Going To Be Pedestrian.

I Think That The Formation Of [dna's] Structure By Watson And Crick May Turn Out To Be The Greatest Developments In The Field Of Molecular Genetics In Recent Years.

The Nucleic Acids, As Constituents Of Living Organisms, Are Comparable In Importance To Proteins. There Is Evidence That They Are Involved In The Processes Of Cell Division And Growth, That They Participate In The Transmission Of Hereditary Characters, And That They Are Important Constituents Of Viruses. An Understanding Of The Molecular Structure Of The Nucleic Acids Should Be Of Value In The Effort To Understand The Fundamental Phenomena Of Life.

An Amino Acid Residue (other Than Glycine) Has No Symmetry Elements. The General Operation Of Conversion Of One Residue Of A Single Chain Into A Second Residue Equivalent To The First Is Accordingly A Rotation About An Axis Accompanied By Translation Along The Axis. Hence The Only Configurations For A Chain Compatible With Our Postulate Of Equivalence Of The Residues Are Helical Configurations.

Facts Are The Air Of Scientists. Without Them You Can Never Fly.
