Crick and Jeffries Wyman, "A footnote on allostery" in three texts, two typescript and one holograph, written in response to Monod, Wyman and Changeux (1965), "On the nature of allosteric transitions: a plausible model." The paper is accompanied by a covering letter (holograph draft, undated) from Crick to Wyman.

Also included in the file is [Monod, Wyman and Changeux], "A third power footnote about allosteric transitions" (carbon typescript), beginning "Dr Crick has written an interesting footnote to a footnote in our recent paper ..."

In addition, there are four letters (January to April, 1966) between Crick and Wyman, and a single letter (27 December, 1965) from Jacques Monod to Crick which contains detailed comments.
