Fredrick Griffith
Griffith publishes his paper that made him scientifically famous. Fredrick Griffith didn't publish many of his papers, but one of the ones that he did publish made him famous. That paper he published had the discovery that you can make a strain of Strep bacteria, and induce it to take on the disease causing characteristics of another strain of Strep. This made the foundation for the transforming prinicipal. His paper, although, wasn't fully understood until after his death. -
Period: to
DNA timespan
-
Linus Pauling
He did work on the alpha helix structure of proteins -
Oswald Avery
Oswald Avery discovered that DNA serves as genetic material, aslo he discovered polysaccharides and could stimulate antibodies as a immune response His research led to the understanding of genetic code -
Erwin Chargaff
provided the foundation of the work for Watson Chase and Wilkins.He showed that it is DNA in a cell that carries genetic material, not amino acids -
Hershey and Chase
Hershey and Chase published evidence that DNA is the transforming factor. They used radioactive labeling to execute their experiments. -
James Watson & Francis Crick
It is published in a paper that James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the double helix structure of DNA. 9 years later they win the nobel prize for solving this problem, They studied together as a team. -
Rosalind Franklin
Rosalind became very close to solving the structure of DNA but she was beaten by Watson and Chase. Rosalind used xray defraction to see the DNA -
Maurice Wilkins
he contributed to the discovery of the structure of DNA and worked with Rosalind Franklin. That work was seen by Watson and Crick which contributed to their discovery of the double helix. He won the nobel prize in 1962
