Who is responsible for the double helix model?
The people to discover (or create the first X-ray crystallographic IMAGE of the DNA double helix were Rosaline Franklin and her co-worker/assistant Mr. Wilkins. Actually she was the one to discover the shape by taking an xray of the DNA under a microscope, but her coworkers didn't like Franklin so they took the credit after her death. She discovered that the shape of DNA is a double helix. She deserves the real credit, but she did not get it because of her death and because she was a woman; she was believed to be less intellegent because she was a woman.More detailed description:Many people think that Watson, Crick, and Wilkins are the ones who discovered the structure of DNA, but they are wrong. Just because they won the Nobel Prize doesn't mean they deserved it. Roslin Franklin is really the one who discovered it, as also she made better gas masks at the time of the war, and discovered 2 viruses. Wilkins and Roslin hated each other because they both wanted to be in charge in the lab but neither wanted to step down to be an assistant so in the lab Roslin and Wilkins are both working seperatly to try and discovers the structure/shape of the DNA first. Watson and Crick made a model of DNA and Roslin Franklin proved their model totally wrong and Watson and Crick got fired by their boss. So both men were mad at Roslin and Watson was extremely jealous. Wilkins met up with his old buddies Watson and Crick and they talked about how "rude" Roslin Franklin was and called her a mean nickname "Rosey". Then Wilkins asked Roslin if he could see her work but she refused because she wanted to o further into her studies and not have other people messing with her information and discoveries. Roslin had already discovered the structure of DNA but was busy trying to learn more about it so she didn't report it, she had taken an x-ray of DNA in the shape of an X that she called Photo 51. In her notes she discribed how DNA was in a double-helix shape. Watson had snuck into her office and stolen her research papers stating the helix shape and PHOTO 51! So then he showed Wilkins and Crick and together they made a model of DNA and won an award they didn't deserve. However if it weren't for Watson's jealousy and mentioning how slyly he had stolen her info in his book The Double Helix no one would've none that Roslin Franklin had discovered it. She is now only today getting credit for it, Roslin had died from radiation sickness from all the x-rays she took no too long before The Double Helix was discovered.
When was ACS Award in pure chemistry created?
ACS Award in pure chemistry was created in 1931.
What award did Wayne Brunetti receive?
Distinguished Leadership Award, Rocky Mountain Electrical League, 2000.
When was Rosalind Franklin Award created?
Rosalind Franklin Award was created in 2003.
How is rosalind franklin's contribution to science being used today?
Rosalind Franklin was a member of the Watson - Crick - Wilkins (and others) team working on DNA. It was her crystallography records that were used to develop and prove the dual-helix structure. However she died before the Nobel award was made, and their rules forbid awards given posthumously. You'll find an article on her in wikipedia.org
When was Miles Franklin Award created?
Miles Franklin Award was created in 1957.
What contributions to the understanding of DNA did Rosalind Franklin make?
Rosalind Franklin in DNARosalind Franklin used crystallography to make an x-ray image of the structure of DNA that led to the discovery of the double-helix by Watson and Crick. Watson and Crick already understood the fact that bases composed the DNA in a certain manner, but did not know exactly the order in which they paired. The x-ray Rosalind provided the outline of the DNA and from there Watson and Crick could analyze how the DNA was in fact a double helix due to the triple bonded G-C (Guanine and Cytosine) that formed the "skinny" parts of the DNA and the double-bonded A-T (Adenine and Thymine) that formed the "fatter" parts of the DNA. Due to this woman's crystallography, Watson and Crick ultimately won the Nobel Prize. Rosalind could not acquire this award because she died four years earlier of radiation from the x-rays that caused her to develop cancer.
When was Outstanding Structure Award created?
Outstanding Structure Award was created in 2000.
Who won the Oscar for Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in 1972?
Rosalind Russell won the Oscar for Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in 1972.
When was the Benjamin Franklin award established?
in 1983
Who were the four scientists involved in the discovery of DNA?
DNA was discovered in the 1860's by Johann Friedrich Miescher. Albrecht Kossel was the first to begin to sort out its structure. When we talk about the 'discovery' of DNA we are often really thinking about the work which established its detailed structure, the famous 'double helix'. This was the culmination of the work of many people, but the Nobel prize went to Francis Crick, James Watson and Maurice Wilkins. Many people also point out the contribution of Rosalind Franklin, who died before the Nobel award was made.
What would you get Benjamin Franklin for a gift?
Award about how he helped the world
Why weren't Watson and crick awarded the Nobel prize immediately?
Watson and Crick were not awarded the Nobel Prize immediately because the Nobel Committee does not typically award prizes posthumously, and Watson and Crick's colleague, Rosalind Franklin, whose work was crucial to their discovery, had died in 1958. Additionally, at the time of the discovery of the DNA double helix structure, the Nobel Prize guidelines did not allow more than three people to share a single prize.
