A combined density functional theory and Green's function procedure is used to calculate the electrical characteristics of Watson-Crick and non-Watson-Crick base pairs; calculations are performed to ...

Before Watson and Crick basked in Nobel glory, before The Double Helix mythologized their genius, there was the photo. Photo 51 — crisp, clear, and groundbreaking — captured by Dr. Rosalind Franklin, ...

Watson found the real explanation for the base pairing, and Crick realised that the two strands ran in opposite directions in the helix.

In a molecule of DNA, nucleotides form base pairs with a unique molecular geometry called Watson and Crick geometry, named for the scientists who discovered the double-helix structure of DNA in 1953.

On February 28, 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick informally announced that they had discovered the double-helical structure of DNA. They soon reported their find more formally. On April 25 ...

But Watson’s gleeful crowing here is misleading. Franklin had already presented much of her data in a seminar in November 1951 to which Watson and Crick had been invited. Crick could not attend and ...

It is the famous lightbulb-going-off story every school kid learns: How James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA, cementing their place in scientific history. But as William ...

The long-told story behind a critical discovery has erased the crucial role of a pioneering woman.

In all these cases, the base pairing in the genetic material takes place according to the rules that James Watson and Francis Crick first proposed.

Sixty-six years ago, James Watson and Francis Crick burst into The Eagle pub in Cambridge, England, with the latter proclaiming that the pair had “discovered the secret of life.” About a ...
