The 1980 CHRISTMAS LECTURES, five presented by David Phillips and one with Max Perutz, showcase the complexity and importance of the proteins that make up so much of life. The lectures weave through the DNA helix, unravelling the mechanism that links DNA and protein production, and asking 'which came first, the DNA or the protein?'.
