  24 July 1962

  Dear Dr. Liverman:

  I return here with the research proposal entitled "Structural Studies on Deoxyribonucleic Acid" submitted by Professor Jerry Donohue of the University of South California.

  I have been in close touch with Donahue for nearly twenty years. He is an able and well-trained investigator in the field of x-ray diffraction. He is also a hard worker. The problem that he proposes is one of the most interesting problems in structural chemistry being attacked at the present time. It is so important that it is well worth while for it to be attacked in a number of different laboratories. Professor Donohue has made an important contribution in pointing out that the Watson-Crick structure and the modifications of it that have been proposed are not the only possible hydrogen-bonded structures for DNA. Moreover, at the present time there have not been enough structure determinations of crystals of substances closely related to DNA carried out to permit us to say that something new in this field of structural chemistry will not be found. It is well worth while to determine some more structures of purines, pyrimidines, sugars, phosphate esters, and related substances in order to get additional information about bond distances, bond angles, and torsion angles.

  I recommend that the grant be made.

  Sincerely yours,

  [Linus Pauling]
