时钟敲过12点以后,我感到心情越来越愉快。我想到过去很长一段时间,克里克和我曾经担心表面上看来DNA结构可能是枯燥无味的。既不能说明它的复制机理,也不能说明它控制细胞的生物化学功能。但现在使我惊喜交加的是这个问题的答案看来竟是如此饶有趣味。有两个多小时,我躺在床上,闭着眼睛兴奋得彻夜难眠,成对的腺嘌呤幻影在我眼前翩翩飞舞。仅偶有几次,我担忧这绝妙的幻想是否会出差错。如果这就是DNA的结构,我会因这个发现而一鸣惊人。 不过,那天晚上,我们始终不能稳定地建立起双螺旋模型。在拿到金属制成的碱基模型之前,制 After 12 clocks, I feel more and more happy. I thought for a long time that Crick and I had been worried that on the face of it the DNA structure might be dull. Neither its replication mechanism nor its control of the cell's biochemical function. But what surprises me now is that the answer to this question seems so interesting. More than two hours, I lay in bed, eyes closed excited excitement sleepless nights, pairs of adenine phantom in my eyes dancing. Only a few occasions, I worry about this wonderful fantasy will make a mistake. If this is the structure of DNA, I will be a blockbuster by this discovery. However, we were not able to stably establish a double helix model that night. Before we get the base model made of metal, we make
