Document Summary
The double helix: a personal account of the discovery of the structure of dna. The double helix written by james d. watson tells of a great discovery made in the. 20th century, but i will discuss the relationship between watson and crick and the b form photograph. This paper is for those who are interested in how the structure of dna was truly discovered. An important aspect of the double helix is the controversy surrounding the b form photograph and how it was utilized to come to the discovery of the structure of dna. In the double helix, watson is subtle when he and crick publish their final findings in. Nature magazine because what he forgot to mention in the book is that the b form photograph led to the discovery of the structure of dna. The pattern was unbelievably simpler than those obtained previously. (p. 168-169).
