Side Chain Conformations

Famous quotes containing the words side and/or chain:

    Is it not rather what we expect in men, that they should have numerous strands of experience lying side by side and never compare them with each other?
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    The conclusion suggested by these arguments might be called the paradox of theorizing. It asserts that if the terms and the general principles of a scientific theory serve their purpose, i. e., if they establish the definite connections among observable phenomena, then they can be dispensed with since any chain of laws and interpretive statements establishing such a connection should then be replaceable by a law which directly links observational antecedents to observational consequents.
    —C.G. (Carl Gustav)
