15 April 1963
Mr. Richard A. Jacobowitz
1056 Boynton Avenue
Bronx 72, New York
Dear Mr. Jacobowitz:
I am sorry to have been slow to answer your letter of 2 February.
I have thought about the question that you ask, as to whether it is possible to tag genes with radioactive isotopes and determine the traits that they contain.
I think that it is not likely that this could be done. The genes are molecules of deoxyribonucleic acid. They apparently act by forming other molecules of ribonucleic acid, which have a complementary structure to the gene itself, and which then determine the structure of some protein molecule that is synthesized. I think that the property of instability of the nucleus that is characteristic of radioactivity would not show up in the course of such a process.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:lh
