Our galleries are quietest on weekdays and weekend mornings. At busy times, particularly on Saturdays, you may need to queue for our temporary exhibitions.

We’re undertaking some research with website visitors to learn more about how people find access-related information provided by museums. This survey shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your time!

Correspondence with Dr Alexander Rich, and others, concerning a dispute between Rich (MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts) and Aaron Klug and colleagues (MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK) over discovery of the structure of transfer RNA.

Details of the dispute were reported in New Scientist (19 September, 1974, pp. 709, 738), photocopy in file. Also included is a pre-print of Rich et al (1974), "The three-dimensional tertiary structure of yeast phenylalanine transfer RNA" and publisher's proofs of Klug et al (1974), "Conservation of the molecular structure of yeast phenylalanine transfer RNA in two crystal forms," Pro. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA, 71: 9.
