    Feughelman, M.; Langridge, Robert (1933-); Seeds, W. E.; Stokes, A. R.; Wilson, H. R. (1929- ); Hooper, C. W.; Wilkins, Maurice (1916- ) et al. Molecular structure of deoxyribose nucleic acid and nucleoprotein. Offprint from Nature 175 (1955). 10, [2]pp. Illustrated. 212 x 141 mm. Without wrappers as issued. Light browning but a fine copy, signed by Wilkins and Wilson on the first page. First Separate Edition. "Information about the structure of dexoyribose nucleoprotein has been scanty and it has been suggested that deoxyribose nucleic acid may not be closely combined with protein. This communication describes in a preliminary way x-ray diffraction and molecular model-building studies which show that a helical structure of deoxyribose nucleic acid involving the base-pairing of Watson and Crick can be used to explain very satisfactorily a large amount of observed data. It is also shown that deoxyribose nucleoprotein is definitely a compound of protein with nucleic acid" (p. 1). This is the first paper listed in Robert Langridge's select bibliography published in his UCSF internet page. Langridge, a doctoral student of Wilkins's, was the first to apply a stored-program digital computer to the analysis of DNA structure, as described in his PhD. thesis (1957). The present paper makes no mention of computer-assisted analysis.
