The discoverers of the structure of DNA. James Watson (b.1928) at left and Francis Crick (1916-2004),with their model of part of a DNA molecule in 1953. Crick & Watson met at the Cavendish Laboratory,Cambridge,in 1951. Their work on the structure of DNA was performed with a knowledge of Chargaff's ratios of the bases in DNA and some access to the X-ray crystallography of Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin at King's College London. Combining all of this work led to the deduction that DNA exists as a double helix. Crick,Watson and Wilkins shared the 1962 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine,Franklin having died of cancer in 1958. Photographed in the Cavendish Laboratory,University of Cambridge,UK,in May 1953 | |
