James Watson (left) and Francis Crick (right) report in Nature the discovery of the double-helix structure of the DNA molecule. Papers from Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins, which appear ...

The double helix is a description of the molecular shape of a double-stranded DNA molecule. In 1953, Francis Crick and James Watson first described the molecular structure of DNA, which they ...

to argue that DNA actually takes the form of a double helix, a ladder-like structure that is twisted along its entire length (Figure 6). Franklin, Watson, and Crick all published articles ...

Scientists still needed to figure out this molecule's structure ... the double helix to keep the distance between the chains constant. Watson and Crick showed that each strand of the DNA molecule ...

But James Watson and Francis Crick's claim was a valid one, for they had in fact discovered the structure of DNA, the chemical ... in such a way to form a double helix, like a spiral staircase.

The signature imagery of two DNA strands locked around each other is one that everyone has seen in school. And, everyone was also taught that the double helix ... helical structure of the DNA ...
