RE: Armchair Science — The Discovery of Proteins' Secondary Structure

in #biology7 years ago (edited)

Oh in my book it's Pauling who discovered the structure of DNA!! He had the helix down and everything, he just had it inside out. A silly mistake, really, and it would've taken him a very short time to realize it, which is why Watson and Crick rushed to the presses (Nature magazine) like crazy, writing up "their" discovery in a single hurried page.
