      • What brought Francis Crick and James Watson together in 1952 was an intense interest in discovering the chemical structure of the gene. Well before others, they believed that DNA was the repository of genetic information, that its structure held the key and that they could crack the puzzle if they tried hard enough.

  3. The discovery in 1953 of the double helix, the twisted-ladder structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), by James Watson and Francis Crick marked a milestone in the history of science and gave rise to modern molecular biology, which is largely concerned with understanding how genes control the chemical processes within cells.

  4. Jul 28, 2022 · In 1962 Watson (b. 1928), Crick (1916–2004), and Wilkins (1916–2004) jointly received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their 1953 determination of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

  5. Crick and Watson's feat was to realise that there are two strands that coil around each other to form a double helix. The two threads are held together by bonds...

  6. Watson and Crick worked together on studying the structure of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the molecule that contains the hereditary information for cells. At that time Maurice Wilkins and...

  7. The DNA double helix structure proposed by Watson and Crick was based upon "Watson-Crick" bonds between the four bases most frequently found in DNA (A, C, T, G) and RNA (A, C, U, G). However, later research showed that triple-stranded, quadruple-stranded and other more complex DNA molecular structures required Hoogsteen base pairing .

  8. Feb 28, 2023 · Francis Crick’s announcement to patrons of The Eagle pub that he and James Watson had "discovered the secret of life", the evening after their determination of the structure of the DNA molecule, has become a part of Cambridge folklore.
