- Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin, James Watson, and Maurice Wilkins
These four scientists—Crick, Franklin, Watson, and Wilkins—codiscovered the double-helix structure of DNA, which formed the basis for modern biotechnology At King’s College London, Rosalind Franklin obtained images of DNA using X-ray crystallography, an idea first broached by Maurice Wilkins
- The Discovery of the Double Helix, 1951-1953 | Francis Crick - Profiles . . .
The discovery in 1953 of the double helix, the twisted-ladder structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), by James Watson and Francis Crick marked a milestone in the history of science and gave rise to modern molecular biology, which is largely concerned with understanding how genes control the chemical processes within cells
- The molecular structure of DNA — and a dream staircase that wasn’t
He and Francis Crick had been working on the structure of DNA at the Cavendish Laboratories in England, but were stymied by the problem, until Watson had his dream The vision of the spiral staircase was the key to determining the double helical structure of DNA
