New study reveals how Rosalind Franklin produced Photo 51
Original: Franklin created famed 'Photo 51' after calculating key features of DNA's helix from an earlier image, study reveals
A new study finds that Rosalind Franklin created the famous 'Photo 51' X-ray image of DNA only after calculating key features of the molecule's helix from an earlier diffraction image. The finding reframes the story of how the iconic image central to the discovery of DNA's double-helix structure was produced, adding to ongoing reassessments of Franklin's role in the breakthrough and the credit she received.
Why now: It revises the well-known history of DNA's discovery and Franklin's scientific contribution.
