Rosalind Franklin and the untold story of DNA
The Double Helix” paints Watson and Crick as lone pioneers while downplaying the contributions of others, most notably of Rosalind Franklin.
Biographer Brenda Maddox called her the "Dark Lady of DNA," based on ... In 1946, Franklin moved to Paris where she perfected her skills in X-ray crystallography, which would become her life's ...
He was very successful in isolating single fibers of DNA and had already gathered some data about nucleic acid structure when Rosalind Franklin, an expert in X-ray crystallography, joined the unit.
The X-ray Crystallography Center was fully renovated in November 2007 and houses a single-crystal X-ray diffraction system, a brand-new Bruker D8 VENTURE diffractometer, providing X-ray diffraction ...
By the time she took the famous Photo 51, an image of DNA that guided Francis Crick and James Watson’s research, Franklin was already a renowned scientist. She had refined X-ray crystallography so ...
They were competing with a team at King's College London, who were using a new technique called crystallography to study DNA. Rosalind Franklin, from the King's College team, made an X-ray ...
In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick proposed the double-helix model of DNA based on X-ray crystallography data collected by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. This discovery laid the ...
