The discovery of DNA focused scientists' efforts and led to the research into genetics and heredity aimed at improving life on Earth today. Identification of DNA DNA's discovery can be traced to 1868, when Swiss medical student Johann Friedrich Miescher began work on isolating proteins from white blood cells.
In the early 1950s two scientists, Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins, studied DNA using x-rays. Franklin produced an x-ray photograph that allowed two other researchers, James Watson and Francis Crick to work out the 3D structure of DNA. The structure of DNA was found to be a double helix. In 1962 Crick and Watson, along with Wilkins, received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery. Rosalind Franklin had died four years earlier and her pivotal contribution wasn't acknowledged until much later. DNA double helix. Page: 1  1. 2  2. 3  3. 4  4.
