DNA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

DNA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "In 1953, based on X-ray diffraction images[122] taken by Rosalind Franklin and the information that the bases were paired, James D. Watson and Francis Crick suggested[122] what is now accepted as the first accurate model of DNA structure in the journal Nature.[5] Experimental evidence for Watson and Crick's model were published in a series of five articles in the same issue of Nature [123]. Of these, Franklin and Raymond Gosling's paper[124] saw the publication of the X-ray diffraction image which was key in Watson and Crick interpretation, as well as another article, co-authored by Maurice Wilkins and his colleagues.[125] Franklin and Gosling's subsequent paper identified the distinctions between the A and B structures of the double helix in DNA.[126] In 1962 Watson, Crick, and Maurice Wilkins jointly received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine."
