  • LP Science: 6.018: LP writes in his lab book, "About five months ago I found that the 3.7 residue helix can be converted into a 4.5 residue helix by shifting the hydrogen bonds from the third to the fourth amide group, without undue strain. Edsall on 1 May (London) said that someone with Dr Law had found such a helix. Brawson seems to have overlooked it". Goes on to calculate the spatial arrangements of the helix.
