- Letter from LP to Jerry Donohue, Cavendish Laboratory, RE: Writes that he is cross checking values pertaining to the protein
alpha-helix. LP then goes on to say that he is satisfied with the structure for nucleic acids he has developed, except for
the fact that the phosphates are packed too tightly in the middle and would be better fit on the outside. He emphasizes that
this is especially important due to the relative weakness of the hydrogen bonds holding the molecule together. He also mentions
that he has recommended that the Guggenheim Foundation increase the grants awarded, which will benefit Donohue. [Filed under
