Largely unacknowledged in 1962 when collaborators Wilkins, Watson and Crick won the Nobel Prize in medicine, this English biophysicist and x-ray crystallographer recognized the A and B forms of DNA and discovered that the phosphate group must lie on the outside of the structure.
Largely unacknowledged in 1962 when collaborators Wilkins, Watson and Crick won the Nobel Prize in medicine, this English biophysicist and x-ray crystallographer recognized the A and B forms of DNA and discovered that the phosphate group must lie on the outside of the structure. Her X-ray diffraction studies which showed Watson and Crick's original model to be wrong. Along with Wilkins she demonstrated that the double helix model later found to be correct was consistent with the data. For ten points, name this 20th century female scientist best known for her x-ray diffraction images of DNA which led to the discovery of the DNA double helix.
