Atoms Quote by Giulio Natta

An amino acid residue (other than glycine) has no symmetry elements. The general operation of conversion of one residue of a single chain into…

— Linus Pauling

If the chain symmetry is maintained in the crystal lattice, the possible occurrence of different space groups is considerably restricted.

— Giulio Natta

The results suggest a helical structure which must be very closely packed containing probably 2, 3 or 4 coaxial nucleic acid chains per helical…

— Rosalind Franklin

The detailed geometry of the coenzyme molecule as a whole is fascinating in its complexity.

— Dorothy Hodgkin

“In describing a protein it is now common to distinguish the primary, secondary and tertiary structures. The primary structure is simply the order, or…

— John Kendrew

The iron chain and the silken cord are both equally bonds.

— Anonymous

“[The] structural theory is of extreme simplicity. It assumes that the molecule is held together by links between one atom and the next: that…

— Nevil Vincent Sidgwick

The separate atoms of a molecule are not connected all with all, or all with one, but, on the contrary, each one is connected…

— August Kekule

In spite of the evidence for the disorder-induced M-I transition as inferred from the transport and optical measurements, the metallic state of conjugated polymers…

— Alan J. Heeger

The chemist, whose science is immediately concerned with the combinations of atoms, has rarely found it necessary to discuss their shapes, and gives them…

— William Henry Bragg

There's lots of kinds of chains. You can't see most of them, the one's that bind folks together. But people build them, link by…

— Bruce Coville

Synchrotron light has revolutionized the field of protein crystallography. It has made it possible to look at much larger structures with much smaller crystals.
