About this work

Description

Correspondence regarding the First AMBO (Asian Molecular Biology Organization) Symposium on 'The Future of Nucleic Acid Research', held at Kyoto International Conference Hall, Kyoto, Japan, 30 November - 4 December, 1981.

Crick provided the Symposium's "Opening Remarks" and chaired Session 1 ('DNA Structure and Protein-Nucleic Acid Interactions'). The file contains notes (holograph) and draft text (typescript) for the "Opening Remarks," subsequently published as "Introduction," Mizobuchi, Watanabe and Watson (eds.), Nucleic Acid Research: Future Development (Tokyo, 1983), 1-7.

Also included in the file are:

full programme details;

a poster (A2) for the Symposium;

a pad of notes (holograph, 14 sheets, remaining leaves blank) made by Crick during the course of the Symposium;

and a colour photograph (approx 3" x 4") showing Crick and three colleagues standing.

The correspondence records that Crick was sent the gift of a DNA model (Maruzen Company), and notes in his reply that it "now occupies a prominent place in my study" and that it is "the only model of DNA I have" (Crick to T Totsumoto, Maruzen Company, 28 January, 1982).
