Procollagen structure. X-ray crystallography diffraction pattern obtained as part of research to determine the structure of the protein procollagen,precursor to the connective tissue protein collagen. This image,of a sample from a rabbit,was produced by British physicist Claude Curling (1923-1993) while at the MRC Biophysics Research Unit at King's College London,UK. It was here in the early 1950s that Maurice Wilkins,Rosalind Franklin,and other crystallographers obtained X-ray diffraction patterns for DNA that led to James Watson and Francis Crick's DNA double helix model. As well as DNA,the King's College researchers investigated other materials | |
