- Letter from Professor Joshua Lederberg, Genetics Dept., University of Wisconsin, to LP RE: Lederberg has heard LP say that intermolecular forces in crystallization are based on self-complementarity rather than a system of attraction of like structures.

Wonders why glucose is a closer complementary fit on glucose than on galactose. Wonders if self-complementarity is unique to compounds of biological interest. Appreciated LP's speech in which he alluded to Landsteinerian vs. Paulingian experimental logics.
