James Watson diffraction data collected by Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling. The controversy arose from Watson and Crick using some of Franklin's unpublished data—without her consent—in their construction of the double helix model of DNA. Franklin's experimental results provided estimates of the water content of DNA crystals and these results were consistent with the two sugar-phosphate backbones being on the outside of the molecule. Franklin personally told Crick and Watson that the backbones had to be on the outside, which was a crucial piece of information; before then, Linus Pauling and Watson and Crick had generated erroneous models with the chains inside
X-ray crystallography polymethylcyanoacrylaon of Boin crystal parameters. Heating or burning of bones causes recognizeable changes in the bone mineral that can be detected using X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. During the first 15 minutes of heating at 500 °C or above, the bone crstals began to change. At higher temperatures, thickness and shape of crystals of bones appear stabilized, but when the samples were heated at lower temperature or for shorter period, XRD traces showed extreme changes in crystal parameters. X-ray diffraction has been demonstrated as a method for investigating the complex structure of integrated circuits. X-ray crystallography X-ray crystallography is a technique
