About this Item
Pp. 205-11 and 235-85. Original white wrappers. Vertical crease. Very Good. I have included a photo showing the two versions of this offprint, side by side. The original version is the larger format, with brown wrappers. At some later date--I do not know when--a smaller format, with white wrappers, was produced. The difference in size is due to the much smaller margins in the smaller format. The font size is the same in both versions. In both versions, there is an ink correction of the volume number--the printed "71" corrected in ink to 72--on the verso of the front wrapper. I have seen the same smaller format for offprints of other publications by Linus Pauling in P.N.A.S. at this time. The smaller format is definitely NOT the original offprint, but it is also definitely a version originating with Linus Pauling, and not a photocopy produced by an individual for their own use. On the verso of the front wrapper is reprinted Pauling and Corey's paper "Two Hydrogen-Bonded Spiral Configurations of the Polypeptide Chain," J. Amer. Chem. Soc., Vol. 71 [corrected in ink to 72], 1950, p. 5349). The other seven publications in this offprint are: PAULING & COREY, "Atomic Coordinates and Structure Factors for Two Helical Configurations of Polypeptide Chains"; PAULING & COREY, "The Structure of Synthetic Polypeptides"; PAULING & COREY, "The Pleated Sheet, a New layer Configuration of Polypeptide Chains"; PAULING & COREY, "The Structure of Feather Rachis Keratin"; PAULING & COREY, "The Structure of Hair, Muscle, and Related Proteins"; PAULING & COREY: "The Structure of Fibrous Proteins of the Collagen-Gelatin Group"; PAULING & COREY, "The Polypeptide-Chain Configuration in Hemoglobin and Other Globular Proteins." Linus Pauling was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1954 "for his research into the nature of the chemical bond and its application to the elucidation of the structure of complex substances.".
