Wilkins and colleagues [37] and Franklin and Gosling [38]. Watson,
Crick, and Wilkins received the 1962 Nobel Prize in physiology
or medicine for their contributions to the discovery of the DNA
structure. Franklin contributed to the discovery with the exceptional
X-ray diffraction data, Photo 51 in Fig. 1.3, but she was ineligible for
the Nobel Prize because she died in 1958.
Figure 1.4 shows the schematic helical structures of B-form
DNA with a twisted ladder form and A-form DNA with a coil form
of a ladder. Table 1.1 summarizes several average parameters of
the three major helical structures of DNA: A-DNA, B-DNA, and

Z-DNA. Franklin and Gosling have found that B-form structure shows
a lower degree of order and is stable in humid circumstances,
like in living cells, more than 75% of relative humidity at room
temperature [38] because of the hydrophobic nature of the bases,
which stabilizes the base stacking in B-form DNA. The hydrophilic

double helix of B-form interact with each other, but the bases of
the neighboring helices are isolated from each other because DNA
backbones surround them. In contrast, the bases of A-form DNA
interact with those of the neighboring DNA because of the bases
in the surface of the A-form helix. This feature will be reflected in
physical properties of DNA, especially metal ion–incorporated DNA.
Z-form of DNA is a left-handed helical structure with a zig-zag
pattern of two base pairs as a repeat unit. Z-form is one of the
three biologically active structures shown in Table 1.1. This form is
regarded as a transient form in biological activities under certain
conditions, such as negative DNA supercoiling, high salt and some
cations at physiological temperature, 37◦ C, and pH = 7.3–7.4 [44].

12 Introduction
ON A JURY.
Year after year, and term after term, the great case of Table Mountain
Tunnel vs. New York Tunnel, used to be called in the Court held at Sonora,
Tuolumne County. The opposing claims were on opposite sides of the great
mountain wall, which here described a semicircle. When these two claims
were taken up, it was supposed the pay streak followed the Mountain’s
course; but it had here taken a freak to shoot straight across a flat formed by
the curve. Into this ground, at first deemed worthless, both parties were
tunnelling. The farther they tunnelled, the richer grew the pay streak. Every
foot was worth a fortune. Both claimed it. The law was called upon to settle
the difficulty. The law was glad, for it had then many children in the county
who needed fees. Our lawyers ran their tunnels into both of these rich
claims, nor did they stop boring until they had exhausted the cream of that
pay streak. Year after year, Table Mountain vs. New York Tunnel Company
was tried, judgment rendered first for one side and then for the other, then
appealed to the Supreme Court, sent back, and tried over, until, at last, it
had become so encumbered with legal barnacles, parasites, and cobwebs,
that none other than the lawyers knew or pretended to know aught of the
rights of the matter. Meantime, the two rival companies kept hard at work,
day and night. Every ounce over the necessary expense of working their
claims and feeding and clothing their bodies, went to maintain lawyers. The
case became one of the institutions of the county. It outlived several judges
and attorneys. It grew plethoric with affidavits and other documentary
evidence. Men died, and with their last breath left some word still further to
confuse the great Table Mountain vs. New York Tunnel case. The county
town throve during this yearly trial. Each side brought a small army of
witnesses, who could swear and fill up any and every gap in their respective
chains of evidence. It involved the history, also, of all the mining laws made
since “ ’49.” Eventually, jurors competent to try this case became very
scarce. Nearly every one had “sat on it,” or had read or heard or formed an
opinion concerning it, or said they had. The Sheriff and his deputies
ransacked the hills and gulches of Tuolumne for new Table Mountain vs.
New York Tunnel jurors. At last, buried in an out-of-the-way gulch, they
found me. I was presented with a paper commanding my appearance at the
county town, with various pains and penalties affixed, in case of refusal. I
obeyed. I had never before formed the twelfth of a jury. In my own
estimation, I rated only as the twenty-fourth. We were sworn in: sworn to
try the case to the best of our ability; it was ridiculous that I should swear to
this, for internally I owned I had no ability at all as a juror. We were put in
twelve arm-chairs. The great case was called. The lawyers, as usual, on
either side, opened by declaring their intentions to prove themselves all
right and their opponents all wrong. I did not know which was the plaintiff,
which the defendant. Twenty-four witnesses on one side swore to
something, to anything, to everything; thirty-six on the other swore it all
down again. They thus swore against each other for two days and a half.
The Court was noted for being an eternal sitter. He sat fourteen hours per
day. The trial lasted five days. Opposing counsel, rival claimants, even
witnesses, all had maps, long, brilliant, parti-colored maps of their claims,
which they unrolled and held before us and swung defiantly at each other.
The sixty witnesses testified from 1849 up to 1864. After days of such
testimony, as to ancient boundary lines and ancient mining laws, the
lawyers on either side, still more to mystify the case, caucused the matter
over and concluded to throw out about half of such testimony as being
irrelevant. But they could not throw it out of our memories. The “summing
up” lasted two days more. By this time, I was a mere idiot in the matter. I
had, at the start, endeavored to keep some track of the evidence, but they
managed to snatch every clue away as fast as one got hold of it. We were
“charged” by the judge and sent to the jury room. I felt like both a fool and
a criminal. I knew I had not the shadow of an opinion or a conclusion in the
matter. However, I found myself not alone. We were out all night. There
was a stormy time between the three or four jurymen who knew or
pretended to know something of the matter. The rest of us watched the
controversy, and, of course, sided with the majority. And, at last, a verdict
was agreed upon. It has made so little impression on my mind that I forget
now whom it favored. It did not matter. Both claims were then paying well,
and this was a sure indication that the case would go to the Supreme Court.
It did. This was in 1860. I think it made these yearly trips up to 1867. Then
some of the more obstinate and combative members of either claim died,
and the remainder concluded to keep some of the gold they were digging
instead of paying it out to fee lawyers. The Table Mountain vs. New York
Tunnel case stopped. All the lawyers, save two or three, emigrated to San
Francisco or went to Congress. I gained but one thing from my experience
in the matter—an opinion. It may or may not be right. It is that juries in
most cases are humbugs.
