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 called a ...

Nucleic acids such as DNA are becoming increasingly popular as versatile building blocks in nanobiotechnology as a result of their superb, predictable self-assembling properties and the high rigidity ...

Guided by the work of Rosalind Franklin, James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953, a finding that gave rise to the modern field of molecular biology.

A few years back, the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the structure of the DNA double helix by biologists James D. Watson and Francis H. C. Crick was grandly celebrated. In fact, it's a double ...

The most famous image to emerge from 20th-century biology is the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) double helix, illustrating the structure of the gene, life’s genetic material. Credit for the discovery of ...

Few science books have managed to make readers laugh, gasp, and learn all at once, but The Double Helix by James D. Watson does just that. Published in 1968, this iconic memoir pulls readers straight ...

DNA is more than just the secret of life--it is also a versatile component for making nanoscopic structures and devices The year 2003 witnessed the 50th anniversary of the discovery of DNAs ...
