   How did Maurice Wilkins discover DNA?

   • Maurice Wilkins initiated the experimental research into DNA that culminated in Watson and Crick's discovery of its structure in 1953. Wilkins crystallized DNA in a form suitable for quantitative X-ray diffraction work and obtained the best quality X-ray images seen at that time. His initial X-ray diffraction work indicated that DNA

   How did Wilkins & Franklin discover DNA?

   • Wilkins and Franklin used X-ray techniques to take the first photographs of DNA. The clear images they provided, which pointed to a double helical structure, enabled Watson and Crick to beat chemist Linus Pauling in the furious race to be first to decode the structure of DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid.
