Present at the Flood: How Structural Molecular Biology Came about

by Richard E. Dickerson

This book chronicles a revolution in molecular biology--the crucial 30 years (roughly between 1933 and 1963) during which our ideas about proteins and nucleic acids changed from those of formless, functionless organic chemicals into precisely structured molecular machines with specific biological purpose. Proteins evolved from being colloidal micelles or globules with no specific structure (or even sequence) into quite precisely structured molecular...
