Science Is The Search For Truth.

Like Thousands Of Other Boys, I Had A Little Chemical Laboratory In Our Cellar And Think That Some Of Our Friends Thought Me A Bit Crazy.

I Believe That There Is A Greater Power In The World Than The Evil Power Of Military Force, Of Nuclear Bombs -- There Is The Power Of Good, Of Morality, Of Humanitarianism.

It Was Obvious-to Me At Any Rate-that The Answer Was To Why An Enzyme Is Able To Speed Up A Chemical Reaction By As Much As 10 Million Times. It Had To Do This By Lowering The Energy Of Activation-the Energy Of Forming The Activated Complex. It Could Do This By Forming Strong Bonds With The Activated Complex, But Only Weak Bonds With The Reactants Or Products.

It Has Been Recognized That Hydrogen Bonds Restrain Protein Molecules To Their Native Configurations, And I Believe That As The Methods Of Structural Chemistry Are Further Applied To Physiological Problems It Will Be Found That The Significance Of The Hydrogen Bond For Physiology Is Greater Than That Of Any Other Single Structural Feature.

I Believe All Complicated Phenomena Can Be Explained By Simpler Scientific Principles.
