Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Spiral Molecular Structures, the Basis of Life
The polypeptide theory teaches that the amino acid groups occur in nature in the form of long polypeptide chains. This theory offers at least a partial explanation for the phenomenon of growth, as well as for structural variation, but in its present form is inadequate in that it does not account for that definite morphology which is possessed by all living organisms, nor for spontaneous division with the transmission of hereditary characteristics to the progeny.
