Rosalind Franklin (jan 1, 1953 – dec 31, 1953)
Description:
Franklin’s X-ray images of DNA, especially Photo 51, revealed its double-helix structure. Her data was crucial for Watson and Crick’s DNA model. Her work connected directly to Chargaff’s rules and provided the visual proof needed to understand DNA’s shape.
