Letter from H. Fraenkel-Conrat to Rosalind Franklin

Creator:

University of California, Berkeley
Fraenkel-Conrat, H.

Recipient:

Franklin, Rosalind

Date:

14 March 1956

Description:

Heinz Fraenkel-Conrat was one of many virus researchers that Franklin visited during her 1954 trip to the United States. Like many others, he was able to send her samples of the materials he was using. The TMV with heavy atoms, such as mercury, added would help Franklin calculate the structure of TMV more accurately. In this letter he responded to some of the x-ray diffraction findings she had sent him.
