    Double Helix Readers Guide * Max Perutz – was the head of the unit where Crick works at Cambridge University. Perutz also shared important X-ray crystallography imagery with Watson and Crick that he had received from Maurice Wilkins and Franklin. Whether he was supposed to give this information to Watson and Crick without Franklin’s knowledge is unknown‚ nor is it entirely known how important her work was to the discovery of the structure. * Sir Lawrence Bragg – the head of the Cavendish

    The Double Helix James Watson accounts all the events of his career that occurred during 1950 to 1953‚ which led to the discovery of structure of the DNA in his famous piece of science writing called “The Double Helix”. In his book‚ James Watson describes how he and Francis Crick discovered the structure of the deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA) that leads to the major themes of this book‚ which is nature of scientific discovery. Watson describes his and Crick’s search for a simple explanation of DNA

    Double Helix Report #3 Processes and Methods: One of the processes and methods I found was when Watson said Franklins X-ray patterns are getting better and better. Watson described them as getting more beautiful. You could see it as someone cooking‚ they start to get better at it after practice. Another analogy could be playing the piano‚ in the beginning you are not very good and you do not know much‚ but later on after you practice you start to get better. As the X-ray patterns kept improving

    Chargaff’s rules‚ X-ray diffraction studies‚ and the use of brass and wire models of sugars‚ and phosphate groups. This revelation contributed heavily to scientific research and studies. They deduced that from their studies that DNA is structured in a Double Helix. With all of the evidence they accumulated they were able to achieve as well as build something great‚ with such a huge impact on the world. One piece of evidence they used to determine the structure of DNA was X-ray diffraction studies. X-ray

    The DNA double helix model In 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick made a scientific breakthrough when they discovered the structure of DNA. From this structure they inferred that DNA contains information written in a genetic code‚ is passed from one generation to the next. This discovery was to be a key step in the genetics revolution DNA has four molecular building blocks called nucleotides; adenine (A)‚ thymine (T) guanine (G) and cytosine (C). Purine base always pairs (by hydrogen bonding) with

    James Watson‚ came up with the idea that DNA was in a double-helix structure. Well‚ they were the ones that got the Nobel Prize in 1962. A huge part of the discovery of the double-helix structure should go to Rosalind Franklin. But‚ since she was a woman‚ she did not receive much recognition for her work. In 1952‚ Raymond Gosling‚ under Franklin’s guidance‚ took an X-ray diffraction image of DNA. This image proved that DNA was a double-helix. The experiment is posted below. As one can see‚ Photo

    weren’t shown until 1943. Even though it was discovered way earlier‚ James Watson and Francis Crick did not find out the structure of the DNA until 1953. It was Called “Double Helix”. The Double Helix had two strands that would wind around each other as if it were a ladder. James Watson later wrote a book called‚ “The Double Helix: A personal account of the Discovery of the Structure of DNA”‚ which was published in 1968. Watson and Crick had to involve themselves in many other studies to aid them
