Rosalind Franklin and DNA is a biography of an English chemist Rosalind Franklin (1920–1958) written by her American friend Anne Sayre in 1975. Franklin was a physical chemist who made pivotal research in the discovery of the structure of DNA, known as "the most important discovery" in biology.
A play entitled Photograph 51 by Anna Ziegler focuses on the role of X-ray crystallographer Rosalind Franklin in the discovery of the structure of DNA. [28] [29] This play won the third STAGE International Script Competition in 2008. [30] In 2015, the play was put on at London West End, with Nicole Kidman playing Franklin. [31]
Rosalind Franklin’s research led to the discovery of DNA. Lifelong researcher Rosalind Franklin discovered the existence of a helix formation made of molecules during her research on X-ray ...
Using X-ray diffraction, as well as other data from Rosalind Franklin and her information that the bases were paired, James Watson and Francis Crick arrived at the first accurate model of DNA's molecular structure in 1953, which was accepted through inspection by Rosalind Franklin. [18] The discovery was announced on February 28, 1953; the ...
The film dramatises the rivalries of the two teams of scientists attempting to discover the structure of DNA: Francis Crick and James D. Watson at Cambridge University; and Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin at King's College London.
[8] [9] [10] However the discovery of the DNA double helix also used a considerable amount of material from the unpublished work of Rosalind Franklin, A.R. Stokes, Maurice Wilkins, and H.R. Wilson at King's College London.
A chance discovery led officials in northern England to uncover more than 100 practice bombs from World War II buried underneath a playground. It looked like a normal children's playground in England.
