Frequently asked
Who was Rosalind Franklin and why is she important?
Rosalind Franklin was a British chemist born in 1920 whose X-ray crystallography work revealed DNA's structure. Her Photo 51, taken in 1952, showed the double helix pattern. Though others received the Nobel Prize for this discovery, Franklin's evidence was absolutely crucial. She remains a scientific hero.
What is Photo 51 and why was it so important?
Photo 51 is an X-ray crystallography image Franklin took showing DNA's characteristic double helix pattern. It provided the first visual proof of DNA's structure. This single image became one of science's most iconic photographs, essential evidence that revolutionized our understanding of heredity and life.
How did Rosalind Franklin use X-ray crystallography in her work?
Franklin used a technique called X-ray crystallography, where she bombarded DNA crystals with X-rays and captured how the rays bounced off. This created distinctive patterns that revealed the molecule's 3D structure. Her exceptional skill and precision made her one of the best crystallographers of her time.
