Sell Your Molecular Structure Nucleic Acids 1st Announcement 1953

Francis Harry Compton Crick OM FRS (8 June 1916 – 28 July 2004) was a British molecular biologist, biophysicist, and neuroscientist. He, James Watson, and Rosalind Franklin played crucial roles in deciphering the helical structure of the DNA molecule. Crick and Watson’s paper in Nature in 1953 laid the groundwork for understanding DNA structure and functions. Together with Maurice Wilkins, they were jointly awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine “for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material”.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (/diːˈɒksɪˌraɪboʊnjuːˌkliːɪk, -ˌkleɪ-/ (listen); DNA) is a molecule composed of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix carrying genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth and reproduction of all known organisms and many viruses. DNA and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are nucleic acids. Alongside proteins, lipids and complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides), nucleic acids are one of the four major types of macromolecules that are essential for all known forms of life.

James Watson and Francis Crick DNA Drawing Signed

Francis Harry Compton Crick OM FRS (8 June 1916 – 28 July 2004) was a British molecular biologist, biophysicist, and neuroscientist. He, James Watson, and Rosalind Franklin played crucial roles in deciphering the helical structure of the DNA molecule. Crick and Watson’s paper in Nature in 1953 laid the groundwork for understanding DNA structure and functions. Together with Maurice Wilkins, they were jointly awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine “for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material”.

James Dewey Watson KBE (born April 6, 1928) is an American molecular biologist, geneticist and zoologist. In 1953, he co-authored with Francis Crick the academic paper proposing the double helix structure of the DNA molecule. Watson, Crick and Maurice Wilkins were awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine “for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material”. In subsequent years, it has been recognized that Watson and his colleagues did not properly attribute colleague Rosalind Franklin for her contributions to the discovery of the double helix structure.

Nobel Prize winning scientists, James Watson and Francis Crick signed FDC, with a drawing of their discovery — the infamous double helix strand of DNA. Signed “James D. Watson” and “Francis Crick”, Watson also draws the double helix, marking it as “DNA” and identifying it as either a “D-T” or “G-C” strand. Postmarked Washington DC, 21 September 1983, first day cover honors Edwin H. Armstrong who invented the FM radio. Measures 6.5″ x 3.5″. Near fine condition. With PSA/DNA COA. Sold for $3,884.

Maurice Wilkins Autograph Manuscript Signed re DNA

Superb Maurice Wilkins autograph manuscript signed, dated 22 October 1999. Comprehensive manuscript on one page discusses a November 1948-9 letter Wilkins had written to Francis Crick as their relationship was blossoming and their preliminary ideas of DNA’s true structure were still being explored. Photocopy of the original letter is included which also bears his signature, “MHF Wilkins” and additionally, a small annotation in his hand: “Set of letters to Crick (showing my notes in red)”. Manuscript is written in black ink with a bold “MHF Wilkins” signed at the upper right corner. Reads in full: “Set of My Comment on the Letters to Crick / 22 Oct. 99 / Extra letter, probably the first I wrote to Crick. 1948-9 / In 1948 I was busy with microspectroscopy of living cells studying the changes in DNA in chromosome in dividing tissue culture cells; but I was also moving towards the structure of DNA itself because we were very lucky in hearing about [Oswald] Avery’s [who discovered that DNA is the material of which genes and chromosomes are made] work from a biochemist who had worked near Avery in New York & gave good reasons to believe that Avery really had shown DNA (by itself) really was the gene material. Also Gerald Oster had been a very useful U.S. visitor who brought me up to date on Stanley’s (California) work on crystals of TMV virus. So I was edging away from DNA in cells towards molecular structure of DNA. Like most British scientists, Francis believed genes were protein. We were very lucky to get inside information about Avery! Later when Jim Watson came to Cambridge he told them (all working on protein crystals) a great deal more about DNA work by the U.S. Phage Group. Thus Francis joined up with Jim. (who had been switched on by seeing our crystalline DNA pattern at my Naples talk). At the time of this letter my scientific work did not overlap much with Francis’s work which had been forced on him by the MRC who employed him in the Strangeways lab at Cambridge. However, the spirit at dinner with Frances & Odile reminded me of my very lively times in Berkeley during the war.” Signed “MHF Wilkins” at upper right. Manuscript measures 8.25″ x 11.5″ with staple holes and the number “1” circled in pencil at top left. Near fine condition. Sold for $2,431.

Nobel Prize Awarded to Physiologist Alan Lloyd Hodgkin in 1963 — Won for His Revolutionary Research on the Central Nervous System

The 1963 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, awarded to physiologist Alan Lloyd Hodgkin for establishing the propagation mechanism of nerve impulses called action potentials — consequently helping to understand the mechanism behind disorders such as multiple sclerosis, seizures and Parkinson’s disease. Hodgkin is also responsible for identifying the Hodgkin Cycle and, along with colleagues Andrew Fielding Huxley and John Carew Eccles, hypothesized the existence of ion channels on cell membranes, a concept which took over 20 years to confirm; that confirmation earned Erwin Neher and Bert Sakmann the 1991 Nobel Prize. This Nobel Prize medal is made of 23k gold and features the relief portrait of Alfred Nobel, with his name and the years of his birth and death. Verso features the words, ”INVENTAS VITAM JUVAT EXCOLUISSE PER ARTES”, which translates from Latin to, ”Inventions enhance life which is beautified through art”. A.L. Hodgkin’s name and the year 1963 in Roman numerals are engraved on a plaque below the relief, framed by the words, ”REG. UNIVERSITAS MED-CHIR-CAROL”. On the right side is the name ”E LINDBERG”, who designed the prize.
