摘要
摘要
On April 25, 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick published their groundbreaking discovery of the double helix structure of DNA, the molecule essential for passing on our genes and the secret of life. But their crucial breakthrough depended on the pioneering work of another biologist Rosalind Franklin. She would never know that Watson and Crick had seen a crucial piece of her data without her permission. This was an X-ray image, Photo 51, that proved to be a vital clue in their decoding of the double helix.50 years later, NOVA investigates the shocking truth behind one of the greatest scientific discoveries and presents a moving portrait of a brilliant woman in an era of male-dominated science. Sadly, Franklin never lived to see her vital role in the discovery vindicated. While Watson and Crick went on to win the Nobel Prize in 1962, Franklin died in 1958, at 37, from ovarian cancer; and the Nobel is not awarded posthumously.Hear the inside story from Maurice Wilkins, the colleague who showed her crucial x-ray to Watson; Raymond Gosling, Franklin's Ph.D. student with whom she made Photo 51; and Nobel Prize winner Sir Aaron Klug, Franklin's last collaborator, who shows new evidence of just how close Franklin came to making the vital double helix discovery herself.

Gr 7 Up-Engaging and lively, this expos? of the true role of Rosalind Franklin's research in the Watson and Crick DNA model is a worthwhile addition to science collections. Sigourney Weaver ably narrates the events in the life of this gifted scientist while actors re-create important scenes. The film also incorporates interviews with Franklin's friends and colleagues.

When James Watson and Francis Crick's discovery of the double helix structure of DNA was announced in 1953, there was no mention of molecular biologist and crystallographer Rosalind Franklin, whose key piece of data, used without her permission, led to their find and eventually a Nobel prize. Franklin's critical contribution to the discovery is chronicled through interviews with her colleagues and scientists in the field. Her pioneering work in X-ray image diffraction and "photo 51" proved to be a vital clue in Watson and Crick's decoding of the double helix. Franklin died at 37, from ovarian cancer, and never received the due recognition brought to light in this investigative report, which "presents a moving portrait of a brilliant woman in an era of male-dominated science." Narrated by Sigourney Weaver, The Secret of Photo 51 is highly recommended for public and academic libraries.-LaRoi Lawton, Lib. & Learning Resources, Bronx Community Coll., NY (c) Copyright 2010.
