Franklin's X-ray. Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling obtained this X-ray diffraction pattern, which triggered the idea that DNA was a helix. 15875. Wilkins' X-ray. Maurice Wilkins obtained some of the first X-ray diffraction patterns of DNA from which dimensions could be calculated. 15337. Use of X-ray crstallography to prove that DNA is ...
Rosalind Elsie Franklin, född 25 juli 1920 i Notting Hill i London, död 16 april 1958 i Chelsea i London, var en brittisk kemist, känd för sina studier av kristaller och molekylers struktur. [ 1] Franklin är främst känd för sina bidrag till bestämmandet av DNA -molekylens uppbyggnad, [ 1] särskilt röntgendiffraktionsstudier som ...
Oct 11, 2016 · The discovery of the structure of DNA in 1953 was made possible by Dr Rosalind Franklin’s X-ray diffraction work at King’s. Her creation of the famous Photo 51 demonstrated the double-helix structure of deoxyribonucleic acid: the molecule containing the genetic instructions for the development of all living organisms.
Rosalind Elsie Franklin (n. 25 iulie 1920, Greater London, Anglia, Regatul Unit al Marii Britanii și Irlandei – d. 16 aprilie 1958, Londra, Anglia, Regatul Unit) a fost o biofiziciană și cristalografă evreică britanică care a adus contribuții importante la înțelegerea structurilor fine moleculare ale ADN-ului, ARN-ului, virusurilor, cărbunelui și grafitului.
Apr 9, 2019 · Rosalind Franklin is known for her role (largely unacknowledged during her lifetime) in discovering the helical structure of DNA, a discovery credited to Watson, Crick, and Wilkins—received a Nobel Prize for physiology and medicine in 1962. Franklin might have been included in that prize, had she lived.
1920 --Born Rosalind Elsie Franklin in London, July 25th. 1931-38 --Educated at St. Paul's Girls School, London. 1938 --Entered Newnham College, Cambridge University. 1941 --BA in Physical Chemistry, Cambridge University. 1941-42 --Research on the kinetics of polymerization reaction at the Physical Chemistry Laboratory, Cambridge.
Franklin excelled at science and attended one of the few girls' schools in London that taught physics and chemistry. When she was 15, she decided to become a scientist. Her father was decidedly against higher education for women and wanted Rosalind to be a social worker. Ultimately he relented, and in 1938 she enrolled at Newnham College ...
