...Nobel Laureates are Francis Harry Compton Crick, 46, of Britain's Cambridge University; Chicago-born James Dewey Watson, 34, who worked with Crick and is now a professor of biology at Harvard; and Maurice Hugh Frederick Wilkins, 46, deputy director of the biophysics laboratory at King's College, London. None of them is a doctor of medicine; Wilkins is a physicist, the others are biologists. Between them they will share about...
...about 40 minutes, Watson, a professor of Biology, spoke informally of the steps which led to his discovery of the molecular structure of DNA with Francis Crick...
Subsequent experiments have proved the Watson-Crick model of DNA correct, and much effort is currently being directed toward breaking the DNA code...
...astounding thing about this proposed structure was that this DNA molecule could obviously serve as a vehicle for genetic information. Watson and Crick hypothesized that the two strands of the molecule were complementary, that is, that the arrangement of groups on one strand determined the arrangement on the other. Thus, if the strands were to separate, each might be able to form its complement if the necessary components were available, and in this way two identical DNA molecules would result...
Watson patiently described the model he had worked out with Crick...
