- LP records new coordinates for phophates and oxygens found within his structure of nucleic acids.
- Letter from LP to Dr. King RE: writes that he would be interested in participating in a discussion about
the theory of resonance, however, he is finding it hard to find time to do things, and he is very
particular about who he would want to debate with. Requests a copy of the conference that was
held in Russia a couple of years ago. [letter from Dr. King to LP 2-8-53, letter of response from
Dr. King to LP 3-8-53].
- Letter from LP to Peter Pauling, RE: Thanks Peter for news regarding the nucleic acid problem. LP expresses confusion over
why the Cambridge people would reject his structure. He goes on to describe the tight atomic packing and say that he is going
to recalculate some parameters. He also mentions that he has heard that Watson and Crick developed a structure similar to
his current one awhile back, but didn't persue it. LP brushes this off as "exaggerated". LP then discusses Rosalind Franklin
leaving, and discusses the purchase of a sports car. [Filed under LP Science: 9.001].
