The Central Dogma. This hypothesis was described by Crick in 1958. In 1953‚ Watson and Crick were the first to determine the true crystalline structure of DNA‚ using model building and then X-ray crystallography. Once the DNA structure was determined‚ the mechanisms behind inheritance‚ information flow‚ and gene function fell into place. Overall the flow of information is depicted as: DNA --> RNA --> protein. Both DNA and RNA can be replicated (i.e. DNA is synthesized from DNA‚ and RNA from RNA)
