It Seems Likely That Most If Not

Haemoglobin Is A Very Large Molecule By Ordinary Standards, Containing About Ten Thousand Atoms, But The Chances Are That Your Haemoglobin And Mine Are Identical, And Significantly Different From That Of A Pig Or Horse. You May Be Impressed By How Much Human Beings Differ From One Another, But If You Were To Look Into The Fine Details Of The Molecules Of Which They Are Constructed, You Would Be Astonished By Their Similarity.

A Theory Should Not Attempt To Explain All The Facts, Because Some Of The Facts Are Wrong

It Would Appear That The Number Of Nonsense Triplets Is Rather Low, Since We Only Occasionally Come Across Them. However This Conclusion Is Less Secure Than Our Other Deductions About The General Nature Of The Genetic Code.

Finally One Should Add That In Spite Of The Great Complexity Of Protein Synthesis And In Spite Of The Considerable Technical Difficulties In Synthesizing Polynucleotides With Defined Sequences It Is Not Unreasonable To Hope That All These Points Will Be Clarified In The Near Future, And That The Genetic Code Will Be Completely Established On A Sound Experimental Basis Within A Few Years.

Jim And I Hit It Off Immediately, Partly Because Our Interests Were Astonishingly Similar And Partly, I Suspect, Because A Certain Youthful Arrogance, A Ruthlessness, An Impatience With Sloppy Thinking Can Naturally To Both Of Us.
