Race foprDouble Helix part 1 of 4

How'd you like your only brother to be famous? Famous for what? Does it matter? Okay. And you have to be nice to Mars Wilkins. Here's Laura's Vulcan. Funny hat, white arms. Got her the glasses. Got him? English working on DNA. So I'm nice to my spoken. He gets to like you. Just like me. I got to work on DNA, get to be famous. I hang out with all these rich friends, you marry one of them. I can't wait. You look like mom. Kind of. Your children, right? Gonna look like you. It has to be something. That knows. Something that doesn't die when you die your piece of mortality, right? It has to be in every living cell. It has to be proteins. There has been nucleic acids. I say it's the acids. I say it's the DNA. Well, how come no one else knows this if it's so important? No one knows anything. This is off the map. Somebody has to guess, right? Chapter one, page one. Once upon a time, life reproduced life. How? Secret of creation, worth a Nobel Prize. Huh? Okay, Jen. I'll go and be nice to Marissa Elkins. Let's put them to pins. Wasn't at all suitable at the time these experiments were carried out. Good enough for single crystals, but not really for DNA fibers. Our work on DNA began without discovery of a way to draw out thin fibers in which the molecules are lined up parallel. This x-ray diffraction photograph was taken using a bundles of DNA fibers from material supply by a professor Cigna of Dan. As you can see, it is a crystalline pattern. Which would suggest that genetic material has a precise structural regularity, which would suggest that it is not an impossible task to determine the structure of the gene itself. Jim's got this idea that there's money in jeans. Money. You know what I mean? Fame. Glory. Ah. How much can you see without your glasses? I have to say nothing. It's better that way sometimes. Uh, what is your brother's field? I'm afraid I have no idea. Not Cary, thank you. Right now I'm with couch are at, uh, Copenhagen, Jim Watson. I'm kind of interested in genes, doctor Wilkins, you're sitting in conference talk that kind of excited me. I'd really like to. I mean, that's where the action is. Going to be no question. I don't fully understand. Are you doing work? Not. Work exactly. A few ideas. I'm one of the believers. Blessed are they who believed before there was any evidence, right? Evidence for what? The DNA holds the genetic secret. Ah. What Jim's trying to say is that he'd like to come and work with you. Ah. I can't really say. That sort of thing is up to the director at the lab. It was very nice meeting you, doctor Wilkins. What was that all about? Forget it, Jim. I don't want to know. I have to get away from Copenhagen. Counter is boring by smock off. There's some other police you can get to be famous. Y'all just saw that it don't look. As though anise will keep it. Welcome. No one was in trouble. Just stop talking papa. Quality. Rochelle was eating before the lock. What a positive thing. One of the first. We made them. Pascal. Good. I have an appointment with professor Randall. Doctor Rosalind Franklin. Not like Paris, I imagine miss Franklin. No, professor Randall. Not like Paris. I think you'll find a much more informal here. And give you a research student, Raymond Gosling. He's been working with Maurice Wilkins up to now. What will Morris Wilkins be doing? No, Mara's has plenty of eyes in the fire. You consult that out between when he gets back. No hard and fast lines at K is miss Franklin. Do people live here? I mean, we're mortals. Indeed, they do. Some of them are regret to say very near indeed. People are being very good to me. You come recommended by Salvador luria and max delbruck, such references we take seriously. Also, forgive me, but you are paid for by an American grunt. To ask you our free. That's right. I'm free. I'm told you're a birdwatcher. Yes, sir. When I was young, I was aiming to be curator of birds at the museum of natural history. Anyway young. How old are you now? 23, and a PhD to your name. Pretz. I mean, it was introduced this young man to crick. Who's Craig? Craig is the bright hope of the Cavendish. Right hope shared by us all is that how shall I put it? He'll fulfill his earlier promise before he gets laid. Welcome to the Cavendish, doctor Watson. I know it doesn't look very likely, but I too was young once. Francis, this is Jim Watson, the bacteria page man. I thought we'd give him a desk in here with you. The boy wonder. The bright hulk? Well, brag, he's rather hoping Watson's practitioners achievements might shame your interaction. Knock on my door if you need me. Next room along. Thank you. You've entered the land of irony, Jim Watson. All right. Back where you come from, the direction of the lab at bang on the table and say shape up or ship out or hold your ass or something vivid and descriptive like that. Here, it's a house the great work coming along quick. Imagine here you're being considered for a Nobel crick. And it puts iron into Bragg's soul to know that I'm 35 and don't yet have a PhD. I wouldn't be too happy about it if it was me. Well, I mustn't overstate my case. I don't claim to be happy about it, but what's a fellow to do? I mean, I'm sure oxygenated hemoglobin has its new place in the scheme of things, but it can hardly be said to be fun. I mean, what's the point of science? It isn't fun. So it's fun. Oh. A big question. Bigger the better. What is man? What is life? How do we come to be the way we are? Great questions, all right. Yeah, big questions get big answers. We can blow ourselves up, but we still don't know how we reproduce ourselves. Interested in genes? Certainly? All yours. Where would you look for a gene if you were looking? Uh, excuse me. My hunch is the nucleic acid. I mean, you asked me what's fun. Right now, I'd say a DNA. Me too. I'm sorry. Is it Francis? Jim. Hello. Wow. Getting underway then. Hello, Marissa. Raymond. Oh, there's no rush. Let me know when you get going. Why? Well, we'd like to keep in touch. Just as you wish. Keep me posted. I'll see you in finches later. Raymond? Will do, Maurice? I can't make her a. Can you make her out? She knows what she's doing. Well, she must do it. Around a bunch of harder. No, I mean, as a person, you mean as a woman. After all, Raymond and I did start this work on DNA. She seems to think that what she does is none of my business. I think the way she sees it. She's been taken on to set up an x-ray diffraction. You had to work on DNA. And as far as that goes, she's in charge. I don't know. Ask her. Sort it out. Man to man. Cheers, no. There are two facts you should know about Harris steam director sir Lawrence Bragg. I appoint myself your native guy to understand the first is that he's the youngest person ever to win a Nobel Prize. 25. All right. The second fact is that everybody thinks the great work was done by his father, Bragg was just too damn young to be winning Nobel Prizes. What's it to be, Jim? France is enough already to fix that. We're going after DNA. You'll have a page on me, too. The structure of DNA. That's the work of a lifetime. The starch of hemoglobin, for what is he max? 15 years? I think just about squash thank you, John. I don't see why DNA should take a lifetime. Mars Wilson says has a crystalline structure. In MRS, kind of. We're at this conference at Naples. I've done Morrison's the wall. That's how we do it. Here. Oh, the mighty Linus Pauling. You can take a lifetime, one brilliant guest, zappo. He discovers the outfit. One brilliant guest plus a lifetime's knowledge. Plus, he's a genius. Bragg was hopping mad ever missing that. Hopping. Cheers. We built a model. And then I think you should consider obtaining some data first. No bricks without straw. Maurice Williams has data on DNA. Does he build models? Oh, not Mars style to show. Then he won't mind if we ever go, Willie. We're having a gow, are we? Why not? Why not? Just don't anybody tell Paula. Cheers. How long were you in Paris? Four years. I expect you miss it. Yes. You've got the board, okay? America. Do you miss it? Does this change time? The war. Something didn't work out for me. Then you come home and. I didn't mind you, but from my point of view, the less data the better. My point is that a wrong fact looks as hard as a right for that. So we need without evidence. That's right. We listen, but we don't obey, you know, like karu, it's gossip. There might be something in it that might not. What gossip you listen to on DNA? Well, those aspirins work at Leeds. He suggested a structure for DNA? I believe. You don't like ugly? Doesn't deserve to be true. Truth is pretty. Oh dear. I brought home an America. His name's Jim Watson. Say hello. Hello. What happened to your hair? No. All Americans are bald. It goes with conquering the world. You can't dominate that long hair. Jim, this is ideal. That's not the style here, I guess. Can you feed him? So what do I look strange or just different? Nothing wrong with that. Trouble is crochet real slow. And I can't wait that long. Well, for what? Well, uh. The kind of girl. You do these paintings? That's right. You know your girls? Some. Her past. Cambridge is full of them. What? How foreign girls come here to learn English? Live with the family, look after the children. Nothing to do with science. Nothing at all. I don't want to sign just don't want a girl. She married. I don't think so. Boyfriend? I don't know. Ten to one, there's no boyfriend. She has attractive. In a way. It doesn't want to be. She's not trying. Your type is she Morris. My type? Frightened you does she? Why did you some men like it that way? The kids are the whip. No, no, but you get girls like that. They don't want to be treated like girls. Well, what do they want? I think Rosalind would like to be treated like, well, like a woman. Morris. Go and make eyes at her. What do you mean, Roman? No, I don't know. Give a flowers. Flowers. Well, I want to work with it. I didn't want to marry her. She called me to the party. I told her about it. She asked me what sort of party it was. Just a party. That's what I told. But if she comes, Maura so if she comes, bring us smile to those rosy lips, a rosy lip of rosy Franklin. You know. And if I want to go to parties, they want to there, I'm glad a wind. The men are so different. You wouldn't believe it. Talk about wandering hands. But I think it's. Quite wide. Sometimes you have to make an effort, don't you? I mean, girl, that's just show willing. Why did DNA because it's there? Doing nothing in every symbol of yourself. Wear a SAP the gene is an entirely imaginary entity, a function without substance. Without a function, the matrix. Now, what's it made of? Okay, we know that the phosphates in the four bases. I want shape is it. I mean, in all probability a helix. I buy healing. But if it's a helix harmony changed, it has to be more than one, the density measurements tell us that. You have a two, three, four. Out of the pieces fit together. Phosphates on the inside bases on the inside. What's the clue? I mean, why does it fall apart? So what's the score? I'm scientific fact one enlightened guesswork. One, brute ignorance three. Lets me know it's kind of regular structure. If Mars Watkins is right. Well, you can trust Maurice. He's new to biochemistry. He hasn't got attached to the old ideas. Mars, welcome to his background. Well, he was in the Manhattan Project. It's a lot of that crowd get out of physics after the war from the science of death to the science of life. Well, he's good. He's done some of the best work on DNA and the last couple of years as he found. Not fast, steady. And this race that he loses too many runners, bob. Marsh doesn't see it as a race. More a brotherhood of science. Great. What? Even so. We should tell them at king's what we're doing. I wonder where they live. Oh, the foreign girls. Well, with the families that employ them are on boarding houses. That sounds promising. Shall we tell them? I'll find out. You know what I like about our kind of work? You can be happy or unhappy. It makes no difference. It doesn't matter whether you like what you find or hate it. You look at it and say, so that's how it is. It doesn't sound much when I say it. It sounds like it's much to you. Sometimes I feel like an archeologist. Breaking into a sealed tube. I didn't want to touch anything. I just wanted to look. At it. There we are. See it's a very good Raymond. Very good. An interest to the amount of detail you're getting. What's the year made or two range? 70 to 80% for the crystalline state.
