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!

Typescripts (with editorial marks) of Crick, "The packing of alpha-helices: simple coiled coils" and Crick, "The Fourier transform of a coiled-coil."

Both texts (marked "Received 14 March 1953") were returned to Crick (envelope retained) following their publication in Acta Crystallographica, where they appeared consecutively in Volume 6 (1953), along with a third paper not included in the file ("The strength of the 10 Å reflexions in haemoglobin"). All three texts from Acta Crystallographica were incorporated in Crick's PhD thesis.

Note: Of the Figures for "The packing of alpha-helices" only Figure 1 is in the file (showing left- and right-handed helices).
