What scientist took photo 51?

Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin's


Who conducted the X-ray diffraction studies that were key to the discovery of the structure of DNA?

Rosalind Franklin conducted the X-ray diffraction studies that provided critical data for the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA by James Watson and Francis Crick. Her work laid the foundation for understanding the molecular structure of DNA.


What did James Watson - Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins win a Nobel Prize for?

They won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962. This was for their work on discovering the structure of DNA and it's significance in the transfer of information in living organisms. Please see the related link.


Watson and Crick elucidated the structure of DNA in 1953 Their research built on and helped explain the findings of other scientists including?

Rosalind Franklin's X-ray diffraction images which provided key insights into the structure of DNA. Maurice Wilkins also contributed to the discovery by working on the same subject as Franklin. Linus Pauling's work on the nature of chemical bonds was also influential in shaping Watson and Crick's model of DNA.


Who was in charge of Rosalind Franklin in the lab?

In the laboratory, Rosalind Franklin was primarily under the supervision of Maurice Wilkins at King's College London. Wilkins had initially been tasked with X-ray diffraction studies of DNA, which overlapped with Franklin's work. Their professional relationship was complex, marked by tension and miscommunication, particularly regarding the sharing of research findings.
