Linus Pauling - Selected Scientific Papers, Volume 2: Biomolecular Sciences

by Linus Pauling, Barclay Kamb (Editor), Linda Pauling Kamb (Editor)

Linus Pauling wrote a series of over 800 scientific papers spanning a wide range of fields, some of which he himself initiated. This is the second volume in a set of two detailing some of his most important writings in the fields of quantum mechanics, chemical bonding (covalent, ionic, metallic, and hydrogen bonding), molecular rotation and entropy, protein structure, hemoglobin, molecular disease, molecular evolution, the antibody mechanism, the molecular basis of anesthesia, orthomolecular medicine, radiation chemistry/biology, and nuclear structure. Through these papers the reader gets a fresh, unfiltered view of the genius of Pauling's many contributions to chemistry, chemical physics, molecular biology, and molecular medicine.
