The publication of the landmark paper in German in 1935, \u201cOn the Nature of Gene Mutation and Gene Structure,\u201d represented a unique cross-disciplinary collaboration that set a new style for research in biology and genetics. Authored by the Russian Geneticist Nicolai Timof\u00e9eff-Ressovsky, the German radiation physiologist Karl Zimmer, and the German nuclear physicist making his first step into biology, Max Delbr\u00fcck, it became, through the popularization of many of its conclusions in Erwin Schr\u00f6dinger\u2019s What is Life?<\/em> lectures of 1943 (published 1944), one of the texts that inspired many physicists, chemists, and microbiologists to turn attention to issues in biophysics after World War II, constituting one of the strands that created the new \u201cmolecular\u201d biology. In this lecture I will discuss some of the deep background of the TZM paper as it related to the debates over the relations of biology, physics and genetics involving Niels Bohr, Ernst Pascual Jordan, and Erwin Schr\u00f6dinger in the early 1930s.<\/p>\n

Phillip R. Sloan<\/strong>\u00a0is Professor Emeritus in the Program of Liberal Studies and the Program in History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Notre Dame. Together with Brandon Fogel, he has edited the book\u00a0Creating a Physical Biology: The Three-Man Paper and Early Molecular Biology\u00a0(Chicago, University of Chicago Press, 2011). His current book project,\u00a0Mastering Life, deals with the development of the science of life in the early modern period, with a projected second volume dealing with its more contemporary extensions and bioethical implications.<\/p>\n
