Interesting. He argues his way to this principle of genetics:
> And the gene is most certainly not just a homogeneous
drop of liquid. It is probably a large protein molecule, in which every atom, every radical, every
heterocyclic ring plays an individual role, more or less different from that played by any of the other similar
atoms, radicals, or rings.
He seems not to have known of (or at least does not cite) some of the points listed in the Wiki summary of the history of DNA research[1] which would have been extant in 1944. Watson/Crick/Franklin published in 1953, and Schrödinger (d. 1961) must have been delighted.
