To me the acid test was always the crew, and if the crew liked you, you're OK.
-- Ann Rutherford -
All the more recent work on alkaptonuria has... strengthened the belief that the homogentisic acid excreted is derived from tyrosin, but why alkaptonuric individuals pass the benzene ring of their tyrosin unbroken and how and where the peculiar chemical change from tyrosin to homogentisic acid is brought about, remain unsolved problems.
-- Archibald Garrod -

The results serve to disprove the tetranucleotide hypothesis. It is, however, noteworthy-whether this is more than accidental, cannot yet be said-that in all desoxypentose nucleic acids examined thus far the molar ratios of total purines to total pyrimidines, and also of adenine to thymine and of guanine to cytosine, were not far from 1.
-- Erwin Chargaff -
In life they're not going to serve you lemons, they're going to serve you lemonade; and I don't really like lemonade because I've got a really bad acid reflux.
-- Felicia Day -
I'm at the age where I don't need an acid trip to feel naked... to feel that I don't exist. Now a self-portrait is almost a reminder to me that I do exist.
-- Francesco Clemente -
The meaning of this observation is unclear, but it raises the unfortunate possibility of ambiguous triplets; that is, triplets which may code more than one amino acid. However one would certainly expect such triplets to be in a minority.
-- Francis Crick -
A final proof of our ideas can only be obtained by detailed studies on the alterations produced in the amino acid sequence of a protein by mutations of the type discussed here.
-- Francis Crick -
A comparison between the triplets tentatively deduced by these methods with the changes in amino acid sequence produced by mutation shows a fair measure of agreement.
-- Francis Crick -
How is the base sequence, divided into codons? There is nothing in the backbone of the nucleic acid, which is perfectly regular, to show us how to group the bases into codons.
-- Francis Crick -
Unfortunately it makes the unambiguous determination of triplets by these methods much more difficult than would be the case if there were only one triplet for each amino acid.
-- Francis Crick -
It now seems very likely that many of the 64 triplets, possibly most of them, may code one amino acid or another, and that in general several distinct triplets may code one amino acid.
-- Francis Crick -
It now seems certain that the amino acid sequence of any protein is determined by the sequence of bases in some region of a particular nucleic acid molecule.
-- Francis Crick -
Back in the day I took a lot of supplements and tons of amino acids. Still do. But back then it was pretty unusual. That's how I got the nickname The Chemist.
-- Frank Zane -
In this atmosphere I soon became interested in nucleic acids.
-- Frederick Sanger -
It's so funny. I honestly thought every one of those people on the show could beat anyone at any time anywhere. You just have to have a slightly off day or moment or two or you missed a touch of acid. It has nothing to do with credentials. Anyone could've chopped anyone at any time. I had to look at myself as the one who could lose this the most.
-- Geoffrey Zakarian -
I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, 'Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's a point to it.'
-- Harry Nilsson -
Loneliness becomes an acid that eats away at you.
-- Haruki Murakami -
A cap of good acid costs five dollars and for that you can hear the Universal Symphony with God singing solo and Holy Ghost on drums.
-- Hunter S. Thompson -
Curran and I mixed about as well as glycerin and nitric acid: put us together, shake a bit, and hit the deck as we exploded.
-- Ilona Andrews -
I hope one of my fans has one of your kids shot: and blames it on acid, prozac, and slipknot.
-- Immortal Technique -
All life is nucleic acid; the rest is commentary
-- Isaac Asimov -
The gastric laboratory uses its protein ferment under an acid reaction.
-- Ivan Pavlov -
Throwing acid is wrong... in some people's eyes.
-- Jimmy Carr -
I just think we're living in a time of massive, amazing change, like the Industrial Revolution on acid.
-- Kelly Lynch -
Or like in the early 70's when we had the reaction against acid rock and all the fuzz tone, and feedback, and the noise. And you had James Taylor and everyone went acoustic and that.
-- Lester Bangs -
I've never done acid, finding it hard to go willingly to a place that could be frightening, hellish, and totally beyond my control. A place much like high school.
-- Libba Bray -
We have work to do if you are not to be a total failure like high-waisted, acid-wash jeans.
-- Libba Bray -
An amino acid residue (other than glycine) has no symmetry elements. The general operation of conversion of one residue of a single chain into a second residue equivalent to the first is accordingly a rotation about an axis accompanied by translation along the axis. Hence the only configurations for a chain compatible with our postulate of equivalence of the residues are helical configurations.
-- Linus Pauling -
It will be possible, through the detailed determination of amino-acid sequences of hemoglobin molecules and of other molecules too, to obtain much information about the course of the evolutionary process, and to illuminate the question of the origin of species.
-- Linus Pauling -
If a woman is wearing the burqa, it's not her wish. It's more that she feels secure from the Taliban, secure from acid if she were to show her face.
-- Malina Suliman -
There's a new science out called orthomolecular medicine. You correct the chemical imbalance with amino acids and vitamins and minerals that are naturally in the body
-- Margot Kidder -
An acid is like a woman: a good one will eat through your pants.
-- Mel Gibson -
The assumption that what currently exists must necessarily exist is the acid that corrodes all visionary thinking.
-- Murray Bookchin -
Alcohol, acid, cocaine... they were just affairs. When I met ***** it was true love.
-- Nikki Sixx -
If the results of the present study on the chemical nature of the transforming principle are confirmed, then nucleic acids must be regarded as possessing biological specificity the chemical basis of which is as yet undetermined.
-- Oswald Avery -
If you have acid in food, you need to sugar it. At a high temperature, the acids are changed to sugar.
-- Paul Prudhomme -
One amino acid does not a protein make-let alone a being.
-- Preston Cloud -
It’s hard to stay away from religion when you mess with acid.
-- Robert Stone -
If one compares the sequence of amino acids that go to form the protein haemoglobin, it becomes apparent that humans and chimps are identical and do not differ in a single site ...
-- Simon Conway Morris -
And this is something I must accept - even if, like acid on metal, it is slowly corroding me inside.
-- Tabitha Suzuma -
Just sprinkle a little lime to neutralize the acid.
-- Tom DeLay -
And I don't really drink alot of booze, alcohol will kill ya... but I smoke all the pot I can find, I don't smoke it all at once, I just do a little bit at a time, and I uh, I used to take acid but I quit around 1971.
-- Tommy Chong -
There's a big difference between somebody who does acid on weekends and somebody who takes downers every day.
-- Tommy Rettig -
Organic compounds exist in which a hydrogen atom, joined to the carbon, acquires acid properties as a result of the proximity of certain functional groupings.
-- Victor Grignard -
No one appreciates a professional anymore. Everyone's a mystic. Which is why I take drunk Jim over acid Jim - the argument all roads eventually lead to.
-- Dan Bejar -
Like all businesses ACID has its ups and downs. There are actually seasons when business will pick up such as Christmas time and carnival time. There are other times when business will run very slow.
-- St. Lucia -

-- Bill O'Reilly -

-- Rosalind Franklin
