Francis Crick (1916-2004)

摘要

In the latter half of the 1950s, I had the good fortune to be accepted by Francis Crick and his co-workers as an observer of, and occasional verbal contributor to, their efforts to understand DNA replication, protein synthesis, and other aspects of classical molecular biology. Francis and I became good friends, so I have had the opportunity to observe his mind at work in Cambridge, England, and later at the Salk Institute, where he served in an advisory capacity until 1977, and then as a faculty member until his death.
