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 ...

In 1953, Francis Crick and James Watson described the molecular shape of DNA as a "double helix." Double-stranded DNA is composed of two linear strands that run opposite to each other, known as ...

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 ...

That was how James D. Watson, professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, described the genesis of The Double Helix, his controversial bestseller about the discovery of the structure of the ...

And, everyone was also taught that the double helix shape with the strands are bound by hydrogen bonds — but that might no longer be true. According to a new study published in PNAS, the key ...

One film that successfully depicts the competitive nature of scientific research and the sacrifices that scientists make for their careers is Life Story: The Race for the Double Helix, a 1987 made-for ...
