RE: How a Boy From an Indian Village Broke the Code of Life and Won the Nobel Prize
Another great entry in this series. Didn't know that Crick was involved in figuring out the triplet nature of the genetic code so thanks for that tidbit.
I totally understand why you don't want to get into how Khorana figured out what each triplet codes. Its complicated enough to fill an entire article by itself, but I'd be happy to read it if you posted. If I remember correctly, it was kind of like solving a multi-step riddle using incredibly difficult to synthesize oligos.
