Title:

Letter from Arthur Kornberg to Henry M. Sobell

Creator:

Kornberg, Arthur, 1918-2007

Recipient:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Sobell, Henry M.

Date:

22 April 1965

Description:

In their work with DNA polymerase, Kornberg and his colleagues had found that it could induce a seemingly spontaneous synthesis of an adenine-thymine polymer, without a template. This phenomenon raised a number of questions about the nature of chemical bonds in nucleotides and nucleic acids, and the exact mechanism of the polymerase. In this letter, Kornberg responded to Henry Sobell's research proposal on this topic.
