Scientist Francis Crick, 46, one of four Britons who last December received Nobel prizes for their contributions to medicine and chemistry. Dr. Crick, together with British Colleague Dr. Maurice Wilkins and U.S. Biologist Dr. James Watson, successfully postulated the infinitely complex molecular structure of DNA, which carries the determining genetic code from generation to generation. Tall, worldly and vaguely Edwardian, Crick is an avowed atheist who once resigned a Cambridge fellowship when his college announced plans to build a chapel. (''Why should I support the propagation of an error?") He is a brilliant, nonstop talker, was trained...
Linked Molecules. The new color film can be used in most Polaroid cameras, but it depends on new chemicals, designed to work with the precision of molecular machines. There are three layers of emulsion containing fine, light-sensitive grains of silver halide. The grains in the top layer are sensitive to blue light; those in the middle are sensitive to green; those in the bottom layer are sensitive to red. When a many-colored picture is focused on the film, the blue, green and red components of the light that has entered the camera form three latent (undeveloped) images...
...introductory survey of biology which, unlike most elementary courses, emphasizes a molecular approach to biological phenomena. Wald stresses atomic structure and basic physical concepts in the Fall before turning to the more standard aspects of biology in the Spring...
...associates DNA, and also about the Thalidomide as reported in Readers Digest, October, 1962, and in the digestion of these articles it came to me that in the process of DNA, in the embryo stage, could it be that this potent medicine could be the direct cause for the molecular reaction, DNA, to, or part thereof to be tranquilized and in this manner the DNA could not get the report through to the molecules responsible for the growth of the extremities of the fetus. In other words, could it be possible that Thalidomide could be directly responsible for the molecular...
Joining Landau as Nobel Laureates last week were British Scientists Dr. John Cowdery Kendrew, 45, and Dr. Max Ferdinand Perutz, 48, of Cambridge's Laboratory of Molecular Biology, who shared the Nobel award for chemistry. After involved experiments using X rays, Perutz and Kendrew mapped the complex three-dimension architecture of two protein molecules-hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood, and myoglobin, which delivers oxygen to muscles. This achievement is an important early step toward a more complete understanding of proteins, the building blocks of all life...
