Abstract
AbstractLinus Pauling pronounced the importance of complementarity in chemical structures and processes involving biological molecules. Erwin Chargaff’s discovery of base equivalence in DNA provided the most beautiful example of such complementarity. He taught us to appreciate both generalization and the understanding of minute differences in advancing science.
