  Dear Bob:

  I hope very much that you are getting along well, and are using good judgement about going back to work. It would be much better for you to stay an extra couple of months at home now than to get up prematurely and have to go back to bed again later on.

  I haven't seen very much of the crystallographers here so for—having been kept very busy with everything else. I have, however, seen a lot of Dorothy Hodgkin. Also a young fellow named Poiser came from London the other day to talk to me about working in America for awhile—he has been in charge of the cement project in Bernal's research institute. I doubt that there is anything that we would want to do for him. However, he did make an interesting statement, that he was associated with Bunn in the fly's -eye investigation of penicillin, and is very optimistic about this method. He said that it would be possible to try, say, fifty or sixty proposed structures for an organic compound of moderate complexity in a reasonable length of time—that the intensity comparison could be made for a structure with a total outlay of time of about two hours for one man. This would mean that perhaps two or three weeks would be required to try the fifty or sixty structures. His enthusiasm is so great that I think that it would be desirable to have Jerry or someone else look into the fly's-eye method, to see whether or not we should adopt it. It might be very helpful with the amino acids and simple peptides.

  Dr. Corey Feb. 3, 1948

  Also I saw Perutz for an hour a couple of days ago—he was up on a visit from Cambridge. He said that one of the men there has got very interesting results with myoglobin. Its molecular weight is, of course, only 17,000, and the crystal contains two of these molecules in the monoclinic unit, with a two-fold screw axis. The unit is 30 Å. along the b axis, and about 65 Å. On each of the other two axes, with a 73 angle between them. He describes the molecule as a pancake 65 Å. In diameter and 15 Å. Thick, and says that the data (Patterson) show that there is a single polypeptide chain, folded presumably into an alpha-carotid fold, and then zig-zagging back and forth in the plans to give the pancake molecule. Also the optical date show that the one heme group is perpendicular to the plane—that is, the plane of the heme group is parallel to the b axis, and presumably this group is attached to the pancake at one edge.

  All of this suggests to me that we should get some full-time post-doctorate man at work gathering data for crystalline proteins. Will you see what can be done about this?

  With best regards, to Mrs. Corey also, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:par

  Dear Bob:

  I am glad to have your letter, and to learn how you are getting along.

  Has there been anything done about cooperation with Palmer? I am beginning to feel a bit uncomfortable about the English competition. They have a gift for driving straight at the heart of a problem, and getting its solution by hook or crook.

  I enclose a copy of a letter to Carl Niemann, about an address that Chibnall gave here last night. They have not succeeded in crystallizing the quarter-molecules, with molecular weight 2,500 or 3,500, but they may succeed, and if they so they will [sic] the crystals to Mrs. Hodgkin. I think that the whole problem is so important that it would be worthwhile to tackle it independently in Pasadena, and see what progress we could make. Would you talk with Carl, and consider the question of how much effort should be put into an immediate attack along pretty much the same lines as those used by Chibnall. You know that the matter of crystallization of a new compound depends so much on chance that, despite the head start that Chibnall has, we might well succeed in obtaining the first crystals. Moreover, the structure determination of peptides with 26 or thereabout amino residues is such a difficult job that I think we could consider it the next step on the journey toward the complete solution of the crystal structure of a protein, a step that sooner or later we shall have to take.

  -2-

  Dr. Corey Feb. 18, 1948

  My proposal is that Carl have a man or two begin work at once on the degradation of insulin, and that as fast as reasonably pure materials are made they be turned over to you, for crystallization and x-ray investigation.

  The progress that has been made seems to me to be truly astounding. I judge that paper chromatography has been very largely responsible for it.

  I am continuing to get along very well—perhaps being kept a little too busy, with so many extra lectures to deliver. However, I feel that when there is so much interest in what I have to say it is proper that I make the effort to say it.

  Cordially yours,

  I have written to Corey that I thought it important to make an immediate and vigorous attack on the insulin problem, even though it involves duplication of work being done by Chibnall and his collaborators. Would you go to see him, and talk over the problem of what might be done at once. Chibnall spoke here before the Alembic Society last night. I judge that a good bit of what he said has been published already. The amino acid analysis of insulin indicates very clearly that there is a molecule of sub-molecule with molecular weight 12,000. The free amino groups have been determined by a method (due, I believe, to Saenger) involving treatment at about pH 7 with dinitrofluorobenzene, which couples dinitrobenzene groups onto the free amino groups, without changing the molecule otherwise. Then the molecule is hydrolyzed and analyzed by paper chromatography, the bright color of the dinitrobenzene group permitting easy identification of the substituted amino acid. It is found that the two lysine residues present in the molecule have their epsilon amino groups free, because these are coupled with the reagent. Also there are two glycine molecules that turn up as coupled derivates, and also two phenylalanine derivatives. It is accordingly concluded that there are four polypeptide chains in the molecule of molecular weight 12,000 (which contains 106 amino residues), two of these chains having glycine residues at their free amino ends, and the other two having phenylalanine residues at the free amino end.

  There are six cystine residues in the molecule, and the four polypeptide chains are presumably held together by these sulfur-sulfur bonds of the cystine residues. These can be reduced, but the more effective method of destroying the bonds

  [page 2]

  is oxidation with performic acid, also carried out by Saenger. The oxidation produces sulfonic acid groups in place of the sulfide bonds, the residues then being cysteic acid. An ultracentrifuge study has been made by Gutfreund and Ogsten here at Oxford, which is reported to show that the boundary just barely moves, indicating molecular weight slightly less than 5,000. The molecular weight of four equal residues from the 12,000 molecule would be 3,000, and later evidence indicates that the two chains containing glycine at the end have molecular weight 2500 and the other two have molecular weight 3,500.

  Saenger has separated the two kinds of chains. He has obtained a 30% yield - that is, 30% of the original protein, which would be about 75% yield - of the glycine-end polypeptide. He has carried out an amino-acid analysis, and has found that most of the simple amino acids are in this molecule, whereas the complicated ones are in the other polypeptide chains, with molecular weight 3,500. Each of the polypeptides seems to contain about 26 residues, the difference in molecular weight resulting from the difference in complexity. He has begun the analysis of the glycine-ended polypeptide by coupling it with the dinitrofluorobenzene reagent and then hydrolyzing, and then separating the various peptides by paper chromatography. He can identify the peptides that come from the end of the group where the glycine residue was by their color. He finds that the dipeptide is the substituted glycine attached to isoleucine. The tripeptide is the substituted glycine attached to isoleucine and valine, and the tetrapeptide is similar but with glutamic acid also. A pentapeptide has also been investigated. Thus it is found that in this peptide containing 26 amino acid residues the first four are, in this order, glycine, isoleucine, valine, glutamic acid, and the fifth one is believed to be serine.

  It is clear that there is already considerable progress made on the job of a complete structure determination of insulin. However, there

  [page 3]

  is still a very great deal of work that remains to be done, and I do not think that it is assured that the British school will finish the job. I believe that this is the problem that we should begin to work on, with as much vigor as possible, under our insulin project. I would accordingly suggest, and I ask you to talk the matter over with Corey, that the thing to do is to get insulin, and to begin its degradation by essentially the same methods as those used by Chibnall, with such variations as seem reasonable to us. In particular, I think that the preparation of the 26-peptides should be carried out in quantity, and that the two (presumably two) kinds of molecules should be isolated in as pure form as possible. I suggest that the men working under you on the insulin project do this, and that the material obtained be turned over to Corey for crystallization. Chibnall has not succeeded in crystallizing either of the 26-peptides. It might be a very big job to do this crystallization, and I think that a specialist should have the job, namely Dr. Schroeder or some similar man. The effort should be made to grow crystals of many different possible kinds, in the hope that one derivative of the 26-peptide would crystallize, and in a suitable form for x-ray examination. It might not be necessary to determine by chemical methods the complete order of residues in the chain, because the x-ray structure determination should provide this information.

  I would think that you might want to try to split the 26-peptides into half-size molecules by enzymatic methods. If these were made and crystallized their x-ray investigation would be, of course, much easier than that of the 26-peptides.

  With best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Dear Holmes:

  I have just received the check for the equivalent of $100 (£24.13.10) made out to Mr. F. C. Romeyn, and I shall turn it over to him at once.

  I have asked Romeyn to continue to work through the months of March, April, May, and June, and have told him that we would make him an additional grant of $l00 per month for this period of four months. Would you please arrange to have the sum sent to him (probably , in a letter addressed to me, as was the first check). Romeyn has turned out to be a good man, with interesting ideas. He knows a lot about the properties of metals and intermetallic compounds, including the magnetic properties, and has developed independently the idea that a considerable transfer of electrons from one atom to another takes place in a number of the metal1ic compounds.

  The metal work is going along very well. David Shoemaker has been getting some lateraling results, by a method which is a development of the method of cells. Hans Kuhn has continued to make calculations about hybridized orbitals, and Romeyn is working along the lines mentioned above.

  I have just had a great stroke of luck. While giving my lecture on Tuesday I suddenly realized that a calculation about resonance energy of metals that I had just made and was reporting contained the key to the strange valence numbers and numbers of atomic orbitals and unused orbitals that have turned up in my theory of valency of metals. I have now been working the whole business out, and all of the mystery has now vanished. The new treatment not only provides a pretty good theoretical derivation of all of the valence numbers, including (though not in quite so straightforward a way) the anomalous ones for chromium and manganese, but also provides an explanation of why gray and white tin assume the

  structures that they have. There seems to be a suggestion of an explanation of the anomalous axial ratios of zinc, cadmium, and mercury, and of other peculiarities, but I am not sure how well these matters will develop.

  It became cold yesterday, and about an inch of snow fell (rather, day before yesterday), and it has begun to snow again today. The temperature is about 24° F., and it looks as though we are in for a cold spell. However, our little apartment is equipped with a lot of coal, and several electric heaters, and we are not expecting to be cold. I sit right up against the electric heater in my room in Balliol, where I do most of my work, and manage to keep quite comfortable.

  Has any report been sent in on the Carbide and Carbon metals Fund since I left? I am writing a brief report, and shall send a copy to you. Perhaps the best thing would be for Soldate and Fred Ewing to send a statement to me about their activities, for inclusion in the next report.

  Sincerely yours,

  P.S. Dr. Sturdivant:

  The understanding we had with Dr. Romeyn was that he was to receive for the winter term and then more if he stayed on into next term. As he is leaving, I am returning the check herewith.

  Dr. E. J. Crane

  Dear Dr. Crane:

  I thank you very much for sending me the copy of your annual report as Editor of Chemical Abstracts, and also for your kind congratulations on my selection as President-Elect of the American Chemical Society.

  I have the greatest admiration for the extraordinarily fine work that you have been doing for so many years as Editor of Chemical Abstracts. Like all other chemists, I feel very grateful to you for your unselfish rendering of such a great service.

  Now that I have been in England for a month and a half this winter, I have begun again to think about the possibility of closer cooperation among English-speaking chemists. I know that there are many difficulties connected with the idea of having a single joint abstract service for all the English-speaking people, but I feel also that the possible advantages necessitate continued, careful consideration of this proposal. I would be glad to hear from you some time later on, in case that you feel that there is any chance of introducing further cooperation, even on a small scale.

  With best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,
