- LP Science: 6.018: LP constructs an outline of compound alpha-helixes. Includes various calculations. Constructs a 4.5-residue
helix with the new 10cm = 1 angstrom models. After recording the coordinates of a 4-residue compound alpha-helix, he writes
a note to Dr. Corey indicating that small errors (possibly in original values) are accumulating and should be identified.
[Further notes made on 10-27-52].
- Letter from LP to Jerry Donohue, Cavendish Laboratory, RE: Discusses the paper that Donohue criticized regarding cesium hexasulfide,
and finds that his thoughts were correct, but the authors caught the mistakes and pulled the paper prior to publication. Mentions
trying to help Donohue get a job in Berkeley. Then LP goes on to say that he is going to do further reserach on the structure
of keratin. [In reply to 6-25-52 letter from Donohue to LP]. [Filed under LP Science: 9.001].
- Letter from LP to Dr. Joseph E. Mayer, Editor of the Journal of Chemical Physics RE: Returns a new letter to the editor by Charles R. Mueller that Mr. Mayer sent LP for review due to its relevance to
the resonance between covalent and ionic structures. Discusses the fallacy with Mr. Mayer's letter and advises that the editor
not publish the letter, or if so that the magazine include a criticism on it.
[previous letter from LP to Mr. Mayer 8-6-52].
- Letter from W. D. McElroy to LP RE: invites LP to participate in John Hopkins University's fourth symposium on inorganic ion
nutrition and metabolism that will be held in June. LP would act as a
moderator and would participate in sessions having to do with protein structure.[letter of response from LP to Dr. McElroy
10-22-52].
- Memo from R. Marsh to LP RE: responds to LP's note by commenting on Dr. Yoshida's theory relating to metallurgy. [related
letter from Mr. Takaaki Yoshida to LP 6-28-52, related letter from LP to
Mr. Yoshida 10-3-52]
- Letter from LP to Mr. Takoaasi Yoshida RE: responds to Mr. Yoshida's letter and theory on the iron-carbon system, by saying
that he does not really understand it gives some general suggestions. [letter
from Mr. Yoshida to LP 6-28-52].
- Letter from John G. Kirkwood to LP RE: thanks LP for agreeing to send him a set of his slides on molecular structure. [letter
from LP to Prof. Kirkwood 9-26-52, following letter from Prof. Kirkwood to
LP 10-15-52] [Filed under LP Correspondence: Box #157a (Kirkwood, John G.)].
