Read (before class)
- “Monkey book” pp. 25–34, 451–456
- Watson, JDW & Crick, FHC (1953) A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid. Nature 171:737–738.
- Franklin, RE & Gosling, RG (1953) Molecular Configuration in Sodium Thymonucleate. Nature 171:740–741.
Answer the Following Questions
- List the individual pieces of evidence that Watson and Crick used to determine the structure of DNA. For each piece of evidence, state what feature of the structure it explains.
- Did Watson and Crick appropriately cite the sources they used to determine the structure of DNA in their 1953 Nature paper? If not, what should they have done?
