The Rosalind Franklin Papers

Title:

Letter from Barry Commoner to Rosalind Franklin

Description:

During her 1954 visit to the United States, Franklin visited many virus researchers who would subsequently collaborate with her on projects involving virus structures. Barry Commoner sent her samples of a protein he called B8, to compare with the x-ray diffraction studies of TMV protein. They subsequently published several articles together. In this letter he confirmed that he would soon send the B8 samples, and discussed other virus fractions he thought would interest her.
