About this Item

8 pp, with 4 text figures. Stapled as issued. Crease in each blank, upper margin, else Very Good. First Edition. Author's offprint. "We are indebted to Prof. W. T. Astbury, Dr. I. MacArthur, Mr. F. H. C. Crick, and other workers in the field of the structure of proteins for having discussed with us the question of the structure of [alpha]-keratin. . . ." The first eight publications by Linus Pauling and Robert Corey on the alpha helix and pleated sheets of polypeptide chains appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in April and May 1951. Linus Pauling was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1954 "for his research into the nature of the chemical bond and its application to the elucidation of the structure of complex substances.".
