Crick's Early Attitude Toward DNA. (0:40)
Transcript
Francis Crick: I wasn't so sure, I think, at that time, as to whether DNA or protein was the genetic
material. Of course I knew about Avery's experiments, and they were very suggestive,
but you could argue that they weren't watertight. I knew Maurice Wilkins, I'd known
him before I went to the Cavendish, and he was working on DNA and I'd gone to talk
to him, but I didn't actually myself work on it, mainly because at the Cavendish they
were working on protein structures. So I learnt about polypeptide chains, x-ray diffraction,
and things of that sort, and essentially continued to be interested in DNA rather
than doing any experiments or calculations.
