Francis Harry Compton Crick OM FRS [3] [4] (8 June 1916 – 28 July 2004) was an English molecular biologist, biophysicist, and neuroscientist.He, James Watson, Rosalind Franklin, and Maurice Wilkins played crucial roles in deciphering the helical structure of the DNA molecule.
It was published by Francis Crick and James D. Watson in the scientific journal Nature on pages 737–738 of its 171st volume (dated 25 April 1953). [1] [2] Diagramatic representation of the key structural features of the DNA double helix. This figure does not depict B-DNA.
James Dewey Watson (born April 6, 1928) is an American molecular biologist, geneticist, and zoologist.In 1953, he co-authored with Francis Crick the academic paper in Nature proposing the double helix structure of the DNA molecule. [10]
The new edition coincided with the fiftieth anniversary of the award of the 1962 Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine to Francis Crick, James D. Watson and Maurice Wilkins. It contains over three hundred annotations on the events and characters portrayed, with facsimile letters and contemporary photographs, many previously unpublished.
In 1953, English biophysicist Francis Crick and American biologist James Watson, working together at the Cavendish Laboratory of the University of Cambridge, worked out the correct description of the structure of DNA, one of the major genetic materials. [1]
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.
In 1953, English biophysicist Francis Crick and American biologist James Watson, working together at the Cavendish Laboratory of the University of Cambridge, deduced the structure of DNA, the principal genetic material of organisms, [3] thought to link genetic information in DNA to proteins. [4]
Watson recognized the pattern as a helix because his co-worker Francis Crick had previously published a paper of what the diffraction pattern of a helix would be. [12] Watson and Crick used characteristics and features of Photo 51 , together with evidence from multiple other sources, to develop the chemical model of the DNA molecule.
