OSU ADDS TO PAULING ONLINE COLLECTION SERIES
 
In the early 1930s, prompted by the need to attract funding during the
Great Depression, Linus Pauling moved away from his very successful
program of research on the structure of crystals in favor of new
pursuits on biological topics. Using more than 400 documents,
photographs and multimedia snippets, and centered on a narrative written
by Linus Pauling’s biographer, “Linus Pauling and the Structure of
Proteins: A Documentary History” tells the story of the great
achievements that led Francis Crick to describe Pauling as "one of the
founders of molecular biology." Now available for viewing, Linus Pauling
and the Structure of Proteins (
http://scarc.library.oregonstate.edu/coll/pauling/proteins/index.html )
is the sixth in the Oregon State University Libraries Special
Collections & Archives Research Centers’ (
http://scarc.library.oregonstate.edu/ ) series of documentary history
websites focusing on specific aspects of Pauling’s remarkable life and
career.
