Photograph 51, Rosalind Franklin and DNA Structure

The Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine was awarded 1962 to Watson, Crick and Wilkins, after the death of Rosalind Franklin who passed away 1958. This mini-review focuses on Franklin’s contributions double helix discovery. title this paper, Photograph 51, describes a x-ray diffraction image DNA (B form) taken by her graduate student Raymond Gosling (Note 1). Its importance will be described, as well other Of immense is what Watson themselves said: Without data, “the formulation our structure would have been most unlikely, if not impossible” 2). statement makes it clear that rightly deserves 4th partner discovery DNA, along with Crick, Wilkins.
