  March 8, 1950

  Dr. E. C. Kleiderer

  Research Laboratories

  Eli Lilly and Company

  Indianapolis 6, Indiana

  Dear Dr. Kleiderer:

  I am writing to ask if you would communicate to Mr. Lilly the accompanying plan for the foundation of a Laboratory of Medical Chemistry at the California Institute of Technology.

  I myself am very enthusiastic about the possibilities for progress through basic research in medicine - research of such a nature that it can only be carried on effectively by workers in a leading school in the basic sciences. I feel sure that significant progress in attacking disease can be made by bringing medical research into more intimate contact with the most advanced outposts in basic science, and that the only way in which this can be done is to have medical research become an intrinsic part of the activities in laboratories in which basic science is being advanced.

  Our immediate proposal is that we construct a Laboratory of Medical Chemistry at the California Institute of Technology, which would be completely integrated with the Gates and Crellin Laboratories of Chemistry, and essentially also with the Korokhoff Laboratory of Biology. We do not plan to have a separate staff in the Laboratory of Medical Chemistry; instead, the work in this laboratory would be carried on by the members of the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, and would be under the administrative supervision of the Chairman of the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. Part of our plan is to make available to young M.D.'s who are planning to go into a career of medical research opportunities for training in the basic sciences and for instruction in new techniques that might be useful in medical research. At the present time we have a half dozen young M.D.'s working along these lines in our chemistry laboratories, and we hope to increase this number significantly, so that in a few years there would be twelve or fifteen young men with M.D. degrees working in the Laboratory of Medical Chemistry, in collaboration with members of our staff, and obtaining in this way a sound knowledge of basic science, including its recent developments, and an acquaintance with the most modern techniques.

  We have discussed this plan with a representative of some of the foundations, and it seems clear that it will be possible to obtain financial support for the program. Our principal need at the present time is the building itself - the Laboratory of Medical Chemistry. On the accompanying proposal it is mentioned that this Laboratory of Medical

  Chemistry would cost approximately $ l,000,000. There is I think the possibility that a grant could be obtained from the National Health Institution to be used for construction for part of the building and for the provision of equipment. However, we must find a sum of approximately $ 750,000 for construction of the building before progress can be made with the program as a whole.

  I have been encouraged to write to you, and to ask if you would submit this plan to Mr. Lilly for consideration, by the news that the Campbell Soup Company has made a grant of $ 1,000,000 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and that this grant will be used for the construction of a building. I believe that the provision of a Laboratory of Medical Chemistry at the California Institute of Technology will indeed lead to very significant progress in the attack on the problem of human health and disease

  A description of our general program is given in the application that we made four years ago to the National Foundation for Infertile Paralysis and the Rockefeller Foundation for grants in support of the program. The present plan, that of constructing a Laboratory of Medical Chemistry and of extending our activities to include the training of young M.D.'s for careers in medical research, is an outgrowth of the program described in 1946.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:W

Mentions two other hematological conditions, Mediterranean Anemia or ‘Cooley’s’ Anemia and Congenital Hemolytic Icterus, which have a comparable hereditary background and warrant similar studies along the lines of what LP discussed. Suggests that studies should also be conducted about Addisonian Pernicious Anemia. States that these conditions are similar because the bone marrow produces abnormal cells and they have a common hereditary background. States that he thought that the common abnormality must be in the stroma upon which the hemoglobin is embedded and he had not conceived that the hemoglobin itself could be different.

  Dear George:

  I thank you for your letter of February 27. We would like very much to have more samples of sickle cell blood sent to us. Dr. Wells is also going to write to you shortly about some special needs.

  The sickle cell work continues to go along well. The amino acid analyses of sickle cell anemia hemoglobin and normal hemoglobin have been completed now. They show that the amino acid residues with carboxylic or ammonium ion side chains are present in the same amount in the two kinds of hemoglobin, but there seems to be slightly less leucine and more serine in sickle cell anemia hemoglobin than in normal hemoglobin, and probably less valine and more threonine. This difference would not contribute directly to the difference in charge, and I myself do not feel absolutely sure that it exists. Dr. Wells has also found that sickle cell trait individuals contain a percentage of sickle cell anemia hemoglobin in their red cells carrying from 25% to 44%. He is continuing this investigation. We are very grateful to you for your assistance.

  My wife and I are going to be in New Orleans next month. I think that we shall arrive (from Mobile) on Friday, April 7, and stay until the morning of Tuesday, April 11. I am speaking before the local section of the American Chemical Society on Monday night. Also, I am going up to Philadelphia for Sunday. I am not sure about the plane schedules, bit I shall go up either Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning, and probably return Monday morning.

  Cordially yours,

  Dear Des:

  Thanks for your letter of February 15. I am glad to see that you have verified the original value of the c axis for eta-bronze. We have been looking at the crystals on hand, to see if we could find one of the first sort, but without success - all of those that we have investigated seem to have a 47 Angstrom c axis, although there are some faint spots that suggest the presence of the 38 Angstrom material.

  Dr. Shoemaker will send you under separate cover a 47 Angstrom crystal. Could you send us one of the 38 Angstrom variants?

  I think that we know the structures of both modifications.

  I am continuing with my program of agitation about the hydrogen bomb.

  Best wishes to you.

  Sincerely yours.

  P.S. I hope that you got things straightened out satisfactorily with the British Ass. LP.

  Dr. E. C. Kleiderer

  Indianapolis 6, Indiana

  Dear Erv:

  I have just returned from a trip to New York, where I talked with representatives of some of the big foundations about the joint program of research in chemistry and biology that is being carried out at the California Institute of Technology, and our plans for the future.

  Professor Beadle was with me, and we both feel that there is little doubt that continued support for our joint program can be obtained. We are, however, very worried that the lack of space will interfere seriously with the development of the program, and we hope that it will be possible to obtain funds to build the projected laboratory.

  There is one change that should, we think, be made. We found that in general there was misunderstanding about our use of the expression medical chemistry. Apparently this term has been used in the past in a special way, and some of the people that we met misunderstood our program because of the use of the term. We are planning to drop this term, and in the future to refer simply to our joint program in chemistry and biology.

  We are now working on a revised description of the program, and I shall send a copy of it to you in a few days.

  Sincerely yours,
