The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is a four-engine heavy bomber aircraft developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Air Corps The Boeing B-17 bomber was an innovative plane introduced by the United States military in 1938. It was the most durable plane of World War II‚ and completed many successful missions in its ten-year commission. This four-engine bomber was developed for the United States Army Air Corps -4000 pounds of bombs -it can go at least 2000 miles -eight 50-calliber machine

5. “Goal-Oriented” Franklin hydrates dry DNA and draws it into a mucoid strand as fine as spider’s silk‚ in which the DNA molecules align in a way suitable for X ray crystallography. She gets her first good photographs. Wilkins is impressed but Franklin will not communicate with him; he has to get what information he can from her technician Raymond Gosling. Franklin brusquely rejects Wilkins’s speculations about the helical structure of DNA. “You may be guessing right‚ and you may not. You won’t

In 1953 Francis Crick and James Watson found that DNA is a double helix. Their discovery changed how scientist look at genes. Rosalind Franklin studied DNA with Maurice Wilkins in

Gabby Hrinsin 1st Revolutionary Analytical Methods for Biomolecules Mass Spectrometry (MR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) are two very important fields of chemistry. The two fields had the hone to share the Nobel Prize in 2002. John B. Fenn‚ Koichi Tanaka‚ and Kurt Wuthrich have all had a part in further developing these methods of chemistry. Throughout this article it talks about why you should study biological macromolecules‚ how mass spectrometry is a method used to

specific three dimensional arrangements of atoms in molecules are referred to as molecular geometry. We also define molecular geometry as the positions of the atomic nuclei in a molecule. There are various instrumental techniques such as X-Ray crystallography and other experimental techniques which can be used to tell us where the atoms are located in a molecule. Using advanced techniques‚ very complicated structures for proteins‚ enzymes‚ DNA‚ and RNA have been determined. Molecular geometry is associated

Watson and Crick accomplishment was in some measure built on the work of their contemporary DNA researchers. 1951 Rosalind Franklin x-ray crystallography of the DNA molecule without her know- ledge‚ for instance‚ was a vital step toward discovery. She began to capture pictures of DNA using x-ray diffraction. She also pre- sented her findings in a talk and suggested that the phosphate groups

From an early age Rosalind was extremely intelligent‚ and in 1983 she won a scholarship to study physics and chemistry at Cambridge University. Here she began to work on X-ray crystallography.

Chemistry has sufficiently grown over time since it was first conducted by alchemists in the 17th century. It broke its mystical ties with alchemy‚ and took a turn to scientific investigation when a book called The Sceptical Chymist was written. Hundreds of scientists like Robert Boyle‚ Marie Curie‚ Joseph Achille Le Bel‚ and many others made important discoveries that contributed to chemistry. Joseph Achille Le Bel was a french chemist born on January 21‚ 1847 and grew up in Pechelbronn‚ France
