Watson and Crick ultimately used Franklin's images, along with their own evidence for the double-stranded nature of DNA, to argue that DNA actually takes the form of a double helix, a ladder-like ...

Chances are you've seen an illustration of DNA's double-helix structure and even pictures of the chromosomes that comprise the human genome. But where and how does the famous double helix fit into ...

In 1953, Francis Crick and James Watson described the molecular shape of DNA as a "double helix." Double-stranded DNA is composed of two linear strands that run opposite to each other, known as ...

My postdoctoral advisor at the time, Linus Pauling, had been interested in finding the structure of DNA, but Watson and Crick had largely eclipsed that effort. Now, collaborating with Jim Watson, who ...

Its twisted, double-helix structure is one of the most iconic images in the scientific world. RNA gets a little less attention than DNA, but it is no less important. RNA takes the genetic ...

Meanwhile, X-ray crystallographer Rosalind Franklin is hard at work producing X-ray diffraction images of A form and B form DNA, but faces difficulty in being taken seriously ... Like in daily lab ...

The backbone of the DNA double helix consists of alternating phosphate and deoxyribose sugar molecules. Interlinking bases hold the two sides together. As A is complementary to T and C is ...
