  • Note from Prof. Ogasawara to LP RE: thanks LP for sending a copy of his Nature of the Chemical Bond book. Says that a book company has finally accepted the publication of his manuscript. [letter from LP to Prof. Ogasawara 7-21-52].
  • AHP journal entry in journal entitled "France and England 1952 also Toronto" RE: "D.P. Riley wants to collaborate with Paddy and write a joint paper. He wants us to work out the radial distribution curves for collagen right away. He says that Arndt wrote him that their radial dist. curve for collagen agrees with our calculated curve for the gamma helix as well as the albumen agree with the alpha helix- Beta Carbon in position one dashed line."
  • "Riley would like to give a lecture to our students when he comes to Pasadena. Let him know definitely about the March conference in October!"
  • "Riley does not find any sign of the 1.5 reflection in albumin. He pointed out that the segments of alpha helix are probably too short for this reflection to occur. He suggests it would be wise if the symbol [gamma] could be used for proteins of the collagen type."
  • LP journal entry in journal entitled "France and England 1952 also Toronto" RE: "Riley [determined structure] of [dibetopiperazine?] with Dorothy- it is in his Dr. thesis. Not published because Corey beat him to it. Same parameters. He will check planarity." [drawing of molecule below] "Should not be planar."
