The Christian B. Anfinsen Papers

Title:

The Chemical Nature of Genetic Material

Description:

Published on the centennial of "Darwin's Origin of the Species," Anfinsen's textbook was instrumental in establishing macromolecular structure information as a tool in evolutionary analysis. The text was highly influential in shaping the perspectives of a generation of researchers who entered science in the decades following its release.
