Building 3 was one of the original laboratory buildings on the NIH’s Bethesda, Maryland campus, opening in 1938, to hold the Public Health Methods and Animal Unit. This key opened the Building 3 directory box, which listed the impressive array of scientists who worked in its laboratories, including five future Nobel laureates, three future NIH directors, a pharmaceutical company president, and 15 scientists who were inducted into the National Academy of Sciences

Staphylococcal nuclease was the focus of extensive experimental work under Dr. Christian Anfinsen from about 1963 to 1975. This molecular model was built as part of the educational program of Protein Chemistry evening seminars for Research Associates conducted throughout the 1960’s by Drs. Anfinsen and David Davies. It’s based on the x-ray crystallographic analysis done at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the direction of Professor Albert Cotton.
