What two scientists are given credit for discovering the structure of DNA?

Answer 1

James Watson and Francis Crick are technically the ones who discovered the structure, and are given credit. However, multiple people played crucial roles in this finding, including Rosalind Franklin.

Answer 2

English researchers Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins, contributed to Watson and Crick's derivation of the three-dimensional, double-helical model for the structure of DNA. You can see that there more than just Watson and Crick.

Answer 3

Watson and Crick's discovery was also made possible by recent advances in model building, or the assembly of possible three-dimensional structures based upon known molecular distances and bond angles, a technique advanced by American biochemist Linus Pauling.

Using cardboard cutouts representing the individual chemical components of the four bases and other nucleotide subunits, Watson and Crick shifted molecules around on their desktops, as though putting together a puzzle.

Answer 4

James Watson and Francis Crick are credited with discovering the double helix structure of DNA in 1953 while working together at the University of Cambridge.
