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 ...

Watson and Crick may never have reached their groundbreaking conclusion of 1953: that the DNA molecule exists in the form of a three-dimensional double helix. More than 50 years passed before the ...

He added that to the model, so that matching base pairs interlocked in the middle of the double helix to keep the distance between the chains constant. Watson and Crick showed that each strand of ...

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 ...

Now, collaborating with Jim Watson, who had returned from Cambridge, I was taken with a challenge put forth in his famed double-helix manuscript. 1 In their 1953 publication on the DNA double helix, ...

The Race for the Double Helix, a 1987 made-for-television film that dramatizes the discovery of the structure of DNA by the legendary duo James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953. The film stars Jeff ...

WHATEVER else may be said about James D. Watson in The Double Helix, he is honest about his motives. He knew then (in 1953, when he was 24 years old) that DNA was something big. He knew that to ...

Francis Crick and James Watson, who in 1953 discovered the double helix structure of the DNA. The symposium was organized by COGENE, the Committee on Genetic Experimentation, and it was sponsored by ...

The afternoon opened with a panel discussion on "Good Science in Good Films" in which Watson revealed that he had been "upset" by Jeff Goldblum's depiction of him in the 1987 film The Race for the ...
