Major Events With several collaborators, Pauling and Pressman publish the sixth, seventh, and eighth papers in the series on the serological properties of simple substances. Pauling delivers the Julius Steiglitz Memorial Lecture on January 27 for the Chicago Section of the American Chemical Society. The title of his talk is "Chemical Experiments on the Structure of Antibodies and the Nature of Serological Reactions." Oswald T. Avery, Colin M. MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty discover that deoxyribonucleic acid transforms one strain of bacteria into another, but Pauling, Mirsky, and other chemists and biochemists are initially skeptical, maintaining that proteins are the most likely carriers of genetic information. In June, the Rockefeller Foundation announces another grant to CIT to support Pauling’s research on the chemical basis of the immune reaction and A.H. Sturtevant’s study of problems in serological genetics. Pauling and Corey begin making plans for a vigorous attack on the problem of the structure of proteins in the postwar period. Pauling hopes to make use of a large number of well-trained scientists who will be looking for employment at the war’s end (Pauling and Corey have over fifty young men and women working on their NDRC projects).
