Among others, see Biochemistry, ?Molecular Biology? and the Biological Sciences: Report of a Subcommittee of the Biochemical Society on the Report of the Working Group on Molecular Biology (?Kendrew Report?) and the Present State of Biological Sciences in this Country, with Particular Reference to Biochemistry (London: Biochemical Society, 1969); T. W. Good-win, British Biochemistry Past and Present: Biochemical Society Symposium No. 30, held in London, December 1969 (London and New York: Academic Press, 1970), especially the ?Chairman's Introduction? by J. N. Davidson, pp. 3?4; E. Chargaff, ?The Tower of Babel,? Nature, 248 (1974), 776?797; S. S. Cohen, ?The Origins of Molecular Biology,?

3. See the statements of Monod and Brenner in H. F. Judson, The Eighth Day of Creation: Makers of the Revolution in Biology (London: Jonathan Cape, 1979), pp. 213, 231; interview with S. Brenner, Cambridge, July 17, 1992; interview with F. Crick, Cambridge, May 25, 1993. Surprisingly, Cohen, when claiming a place for biochemistry in the history of molecular biology, did not mention protein sequencing among the techniques biochemists had contributed to the development of the field; see Cohen, ?Biochemical Origins? (above, n. 1).
