Chapter 14 The Double Helix

Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the lab,
Only Watson was searching,
But, not for a mouse.
When up the staircase,
There arose such a chatter.
The chemists still searched
All dark in their labs,
For clues about DNA with visions of
Protein bonds dancing in their heads.
On Adenine, on Cytosine,
On Thymine and Guanine...
Merry Christmas to all and to all a Nobel Prize!
