In fact, Watson and Crick were worried that they would be "scooped" by Pauling, who proposed a different model for the three-dimensional structure of DNA just months before they did. In the end ...

Based on this information, Watson and Crick made a failed model. It caused the ... This way DNA can reproduce itself without changing its structure -- except for occasional errors, or mutations.

But James Watson and Francis Crick's claim was a valid one, for they had in fact discovered the structure of DNA, the chemical that encodes instructions for building and replicating almost all ...

Crick and Watson were trying to build a 3D model of the DNA molecule. But they were not the only ones working on finding its structure. They were competing with a team at King's College London ...

Watson and Crick's discovery of DNA structure in 1953 revealed a possible ... Semiconservative replication was not the only model of DNA replication proposed during the mid-1950s, however.

Watson and Crick work feverishly to construct their model of DNA, as they know that there are other scientists around the world who are working towards the same goal. When Nobel laureate Linus Pauling ...

From these bits of information, Watson and Crick built up a hypothetical structure of the DNA molecule that appeared to take into account all of the observations then available. Ther model ...
