DIED. MAURICE WILKINS, 88, British Nobel laureate who helped discover the double-helix structure of DNA; in London. With his colleague (and frequent adversary) Rosalind Franklin at King's College in London, he came up with a clear X-ray image of DNA. Within weeks of receiving the photograph, James Watson and Francis Crick built a model of the giant molecule's double-spiral structure. Watson, Crick and Wilkins later shared the Nobel Prize for Medicine...
...Using NEOnet], any particular computer is actually responsible for keeping a piece of the database,” said Crick, whose grandfather and namesake won the Nobel Prize in 1962 with James Watson and Maurice Wilkins for discovering the double helix structure of DNA...
...reasons, are left out of trials. But their options might expand if Genzyme and Ilex receive approval for Clofarabine, which could become the first medication in more than a decade green-lighted to treat pediatric leukemia exclusively. The drug meddles with a tumor cell's ability to replicate its DNA properly. In a small study of children who have not responded to existing treatments, 31% responded to Clofarabine...
...hours. In the lunar program, NASA preferred more by-the-book pilots, and Cooper never got a trip to the moon - a loss more to NASA, many space historians believe, than to Cooper. DIED. MAURICE WILKINS, 88, British Nobel laureate who helped discover the double helix structure of DNA; in London. After a stint on the Manhattan Project during World War II, he turned his attention from physics to biology. With his colleague Rosalind Franklin at King's College in London, he came up with a clear X-ray image of DNA. Within weeks of receiving the photograph, James Watson...
...could call it a philosophical motivation,” Meselson said. “What is the secret of life? This magical thing that was DNA. And even before the structure of DNA was known, me and other people were fascinated by how other atoms can create life. It was that tingle—trying to understand what made inanimate matter living...
