    Who Discovered Dna

    In the early 1950s, the race to find the structure of DNA was in full swing. The search was being conducted at three different colleges. At the California Institute of Technology, Linus Pauling, one of the best physical chemists at that time, proposed his first DNA model, which was based more on common sense rather than mathematical reasoning [Judson, 1986]. Although he was interested in DNA, he didn't seem to realize the importance of the "golden gene" [Watson, 1968]. He was behind scientists in England as a result of not being in close contact with them. At the Cavendish in Cambridge, England, Watson and Crick were studying together. Watson was doing postdoctoral work, and Crick was working toward his doctorate. Their assignment was finding the structure of hemoglobin, not DNA. At King's College in London, Maurice Wilkins was also trying to study the DNA molecule. His professor and he agreed that they needed an x-ray specialist to aid them in their search. Rosalind Franklin was the specialist whom they chose to bring to King's College because she could make excellent x-ray despite using poor equipment ["Tribute," 1987].…

    As some of us may have grown up in a household with 2 or 3 or more siblings, Frederick grew up with one, Theodore Sanger. Some may say only having one sibling helped Sanger acheive work, and have the spotlight. Although we do not know whether this is true or not, Frederick Sanger was a pretty intelligent man. He received awards such as the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Copley medal, Louisa Gross Horwitz prize, Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research, and the Gairdner Foundation International Award. These many awards show how intelligent and passionate Frederick was about learning and excelling in science. Sanger was awarded the Nobel Prize for his groundbreaking research on protein structure. He was awarded the Nobel Prize again at a later date, sharing it with two other scientists, for determining the amino acid sequence of DNA. These outstanding discoveries made by Frederick, and others, have provided us with a way for more in depth research on various topics such as protein structure and amino acid…
