- vii, 307 pages : illustrations (some color); 28 cm
- Summary
- The origins of molecular biology is chronicled by 42 articles reproduced from scientific journals published between 1933 and 1963, during which period were solved the protein dilemma and the DNA dilemma that had been puzzling biochemistry. The point is to reveal to students of the discipline and its history that the field did not develop in a logical and progressive way, but often stumbled and wandered down what turned out to be dead-end paths. Study questions with answers are included.
