The discovery of the structure of the DNA double helix was one of the most important of the 20th century. In this educational video, explore Watson and Crick’s quest to understand DNA’s structure, and Rosalind Franklin’s key insights via x-ray crystallography.

Rarely seen archival footage is combined with interviews with some of today’s leading scientists to bring this Nobel Prize–winning discovery and all of its scientific implications to life.

    Hey procrastinators like me, here are some important things in the video... 1:28 James Watson and Francis Crick 3:26 Protein v DNA 3:54 Oswald Avery 4:33 X-ray Crystallography 5:38 - 6:00 Morris Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin 7:00 Linus Pauling 8:01 Watson and Crick’s DNA model 9:27 Watson’s happiness 10:39 Rosalind’s picture 11:10 Crick’s realization Hope this helps some

    Roses are red, violets are blue, my bio teacher sent me hear, and yours did too!!!!!!
  • It’s sad how Rosalind Franklin didn’t live to see the results of her work and get the Nobel.

    im here cuz the virus shut down school and now i gotta do this for bio

    "There was only 2 ways to make me happy. Solve DNA or get a girlfriend." I have neither.

    All I can say is thank you Rosalind Franklin. She was one of a kind and still isn't credited enough for her work. In my opinion (the right one lol), she was the most important part of this puzzle. Also how come no one's talking about how absolutely gorgeous she is? She's literally the best, and no one knows about her.

  • the narrator is quite distracting. i feel like she will kill me with a knife in seconds haha

    ,,I didn't get a girlfriend so I solved DNA." 😆😌

    The "encoding" appears clear and simple on an abstract level, but I expect an overwhelmingly complex additional mechanims that give rise to macroscopic structures and large protein molecules. It was this hard match the bases together with each other, but then they somehow need to be matched during the "reading" process with other elements.

    honestly though even if my bio teacher told me not to come I would probably still watch this. This is the type of stuff that gets recommended to me on a daily.... bases xD
