  • Letter from Dr. Alexander Rich, Cavendish Laboratory, Physics Dept. University of Cambridge, to LP RE: Read an article on polyglycine II, a new form of polypeptide, in the August 27th issue of Nature. Rich and Francis Crick developed the idea of using a 3-fold screw axis with polyglycine, thereby forming a series of parallel polypeptides connected by an infinite network of hydrogen bonds normal to the axis. Found that they could build such a model and that it would fit the experimental data. Describes the model in numerical detail. Informed Banford of the results; he plans to visit later this week. RNA work is going along well and Rich will write about it in another letter.
