生物英語論文の訳

下記の英文を訳してください。

1)We wish to suggest a structure for the salt of deoxyribose nucleic acid has already been proposed by Pauling and Copey.They kindly made their manuscript available to us in advance of publication.Their model consists of three inter-twind chains,with the phosphates near the fibreaxis,and the bases on the outside.In our opinion,this structure is unsatisfactory for two reasons:(1)We believe that the material which gives the X-ray diagrans is the salt,not the free acid.Without the acidic hydrogen atoms it is not clear what forces would hold the structure toegher,especially as the negatively charged phophates near the axis will repel each other.(2)Some of the van der Waals distances appear to be too small.


2)Another three-chain structure has also been suggested by Fraser(in the press).In his model the phophates are on the outside and the bases on the inside,linked together by hydrogen bonds.This atructure as described is rather ill-defined,and for this reason we shall not comment on it.

短い方の２)だけ、(長い方を訳す気力が無い)

「他の三鎖構造がFraserによって示唆されている(印刷中)。そのモデルではリン酸基が外部に、塩基が内部に位置し水素結合で結ばれている。前記のような構造はかなり誤って定義され(or考えられ)ているので、ここではその構造については論じない。」

読んでみるとこれってワトソンとクリックの「古典」の一部のような気がしますね。
ポーリング先生の名前も出て来てすごく懐かしい。(感激)
ポーリング先生達は塩基が外側に出ているモデルを考えていたんですね。
