Beskrivning

WATSON, JAMES DEWEY (b.1928) - CRICK, FRANCIS HARRY COMPTON (1916-2004). Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids. A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid. Offprint from: Nature, vol. 171. [London: Fisher, Knight & Co. Ltd., for Macmillan & Co., 25 April 1953.]

Octavo (210 x 140 mm). Printed in a single column on 6 conjugate leaves and one half-leaf 7, 4 photographic illustrations and two diagrams including the double helix. Stapled as issued.
Self wrapper, stapled with the last leaf tipped at left edge onto preceding page as issued. Signature of professor Hans G. Boman on the first page. Slight pen-stroke on first page in red. Lower corner with slight creases. Otherwise fine condition.

The first announcement of the discovery of the structure of DNA. and the single most important work in the history of the life sciences. This discovery explained how heredity messages could be encoded in a crystalline structure that was stable and yet allowed for both replication and mutation.
Comprising: "A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid" by Watson and Crick, "Molecular Structure of Deoxypentose Nucleic Acids" by Maurice Wilkins, Alec Stokes and Herbert Wilson, and "Molecular Configuration in Sodium Thymonucleate" by Rosalind Franklin and Ray Gosling.

Provenance: Hans G. Boman (1924-2008), Swedish microbiologist and a pioneer in peptide-mediated innate immune defence.

Haskell f. Norman a.o., One hundred books famous in medicine, 99; Garrison & Morton 256.3
With its memorable opening: "We wish to suggest a structure for the salt of deoxrybose nucleic acid (D.N.A.). This structure has novel features which are of considerable biological interest," it correctly interpreted the structure of DNA as a double helix.

In concluding their paper, Watson & Crick wrote: "It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have potulated immediately suggest a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material." This has been called perhaps the greatest understatement in the history of scinece. In 1962, Watson and Crick and Wilkins shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of the nucleic acids.

Böcker, Kartor & Handskrifter våren 2024

Finns det något bättre en varm försommardag än att söka lite svalka, lite skugga och kanske också lite kunskap bland rader av bokryggar? Stockholms Auktionsverks avdelning för Böcker, Kartor & Handskrifter är en oas av kulturhistoria att vila ut i. Och traditionsenligt presenterar det 350 årsjubilerande auktionshuset - världens äldsta - en alldeles ljuvligt omfångsrik katalog mellan hägg och syrén. Över 250 utvalda godbitar står till buds och bland dem finner man några alldeles särskilt fina alster som här kan vara värda att nämna.
Fyra brev skrivna av Albert Einstein bågnar av vetenskapshistoria och har alla förutsättningar att få budgivare världen över att dra efter andan. Från den avancerade vetenskapens finrum ses även ett astronomiskt kompendium av högst förnämlig kvalitet och med en detaljrikedom av knappt skådat slag. Behagligast för ögat är kanske Dru Drurys Illustrations of Natural History i vilken varje skalbagge och fjäril är ett konstverk i sig. Ett handskrivet manuskript av Ingmar Bergman ger oss en lektion i kärlek, ett annat av Lars Norén ger oss en kristallklar inblick i den store poetens skrivarprocess och vad står det egentligen i det där brevet som Gustav III år 1752 skrev till Carl Gustav Tessin?
Bland de inbundna härligheterna återfinns bland annat Gustav II Adolfs fältbibel, Palmstrucks mastodontverk (helt komplett) om svensk botanik och Jean-Baptiste Bourguignons kartverk över Tibet. Lägg därtill Charlie Chaplins autograf, tio litografier av John Bauer, angenämt tyngda av sagoskogarnas mörker och mystik och en Grand Tour-souvenir av den högre skolan så har ni ett litet axplock av vad som erbjuds.
Varmt välkomna!
