DNA Scientists

Built models to determine that DNA was a double helix shape with base pairs A-T and G-C in rungs between the sugar/phosphate backbone of DNA.

Worked on DNA imaging techniques and published Franklin's x-ray crystallography image of DNA

Provided clear x-ray crystallography images of DNA

One of the first scientists to use x-ray crystallography to observe DNA, hypothesized that there was a helix shape

Discovered that there was the same amount of A and T in a cell, and C and G in a cell.

Using x-ray diffraction to determine the structure of a crystal, such as DNA

A pair of parallel strands that twist together about an axis

basic structural unit of DNA. Examples: adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine

5 carbon sugars and phosphates linked together through chemical bonds to provide the structural framework for nucleotides

Base pairs (correctly matched)
