About this work

Description

Typescript of Crick (1954), "The complementary structure of DNA", written whilst Crick was at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn.

The file includes a draft (holograph) of a letter (undated) to Linus Pauling, which refers to having "missed Sutherland at Ann Arbor a week or so ago," going on to note that "his latest infra-red evidence on collagen conflicts with what one would expect from my structure, so that I am now quite convinced that it is wrong."
