Watson and Crick (1953) Watson and Crick (1953): “It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material”. 1950: “It is, however, noteworthy -whether this is more than accidental, cannot yet be said-that in all deoxypentose nucleic acids examined thus far the molar ratios of total purines to total pyrimidines, and also of adenine to thymine and of guanine to cytosine, were not far from 1”.
