Rosalind Franklin was a pioneering British scientist whose work in X-ray crystallography was crucial to understanding the molecular structures of DNA, RNA, viruses, coal, and graphite. She is best known for her contribution to the discovery of the DNA double helix structure through her famous Photograph 51, which provided key insights into DNA's helical shape. Despite her significant contributions, Franklin's work was often overshadowed by her male counterparts, particularly James Watson and Francis Crick, who received the Nobel Prize for their discovery of the DNA structure. Her legacy has since been recognized as essential to molecular Biology.
