Pauling's model lacked space for sodium ions in its tightly packed core, a mistake that ultimately allowed Watson and Crick to win the race. 20. Pauling's Mad Rush - Linus Pauling and the Race for DNA

In the history of science, "Page 20" refers to a specific entry in the narrative of race to discover the structure of DNA. Page20

Detailed on this page of the historical narrative is the moment Pauling's assistant, Robert Corey, found that the proposed atomic positions did not fit. Pauling's model lacked space for sodium ions in

Less than a week after beginning his work on nucleic acids, Pauling believed he had found the complete molecular structure. Page20
