摘要: The article highlights Meselson's unique position in science and society as an innovative scientist involved several ‘crucial experiments’ molecular biology; a policy analyst the domain of biological chemical weapons for US administrations 1960s 1970s; public intellectual shaping opinion against use such both war peace times. role ‘Meselson–Stahl experiment’ (hereafter ‘M–S experiment’) which established semiconservative mode deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication Meselson Stahl remain best known, is highlighted. Meselson's discussed mainly terms his sustained refutation claim 1970s that its East Asian enemies used on civilians form ‘yellow rain’. association with Caltech 1950s Harvard, since 1960, pertinent institutional context scientific activities. Keywords: DNA replication; density gradient; analytical ultracentrifuge; critical experiment; messenger RNA ; restriction enzymes; biological weapons; chemical
