[London: Cambridge University Press for the Royal Society, 1951-53]. First edition, very rare offprints, signed by Pauling. “In April of 1951, readers who turned the pages of PNAS were treated to a surprise: seven studies from the same authors, published back-to-back, all on the subject of protein structure … Grouping.....
