Aggiungi al carrelloFirst edition, first printing, presentation copy, humorously inscribed by Wollman on the first blank, "To Sydney Brenner, to disgust him / a good of bacterial sex, Élie" (likely missing the word "dose" after "good"). Wollman's co-author, François Jacob, has signed beneath. Brenner's signature is on the front cover in pencil. After receiving his doctorate from Oxford in 1954, Brenner (1927-2019) joined Francis Crick's laboratory, focusing his research on how DNA is decoded by cells. He met Élie Léo Wollman (1917-2008) and François Jacob (1920-2013), both well-established bacteriologists at the Institut Pasteur, at a symposium on microbial genetics in Copenhagen in 1959. An uncommon monograph on bacterial genetics, this work was possibly presented to Brenner on this occasion or shortly thereafter. Though nothing concrete came of the Copenhagen conference, Jacob met with Brenner, Crick, and other biochemists at Cambridge the following spring. As Jacob recalled, when he pointed out recent experimental results suggesting that the DNA messenger molecule was unstable, "Francis and Sydney leaped to their feet. Began to gesticulate. To argue at top speed in great agitation. A red-faced Francis. A Sydney with bristling eyebrows. The two talked at once, all but shouting. Each trying to anticipate the other. To explain to the other what had suddenly come to mind" (Jacob, p. 312). Brenner and Jacob used their overlapping time as visiting scholars at Caltech to prove that the intermediary in the DNA decoding process was the newly discovered unstable RNA. They partnered with the American molecular biologist Matthew Meselson, who had just developed a method for marking bacterial macromolecules with heavy isotopes. During the summer of 1960, the trio finally proved that short-lived RNA molecules - which they called messenger RNA (mRNA) - carry the genetic instructions from DNA to ribosomes. This feat is considered one of the most elegant experiments in the history of biochemistry. Jacob shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine with Jacques Monod and André Lwoff in 1965; Brenner received the Nobel Prize in 2002. François Jacob, The Statue Within: An Autobiography, trans. Franklin Philip, 1987. Octavo. With 3 double-sided photographic plates. Original buff wrappers printed in black. Extremities rubbed and a little creased, a few small spots and marks, faint marginal crease in first half of contents: a very good copy.
