In early 1950’s, James Watson and Francis Crick have also investigated the structure of DNA. However this time, the structural model of DNA is formed. On their investigation, they compiled and analyzed all the existing study about the structure of DNA rather than conducting an experiment in a laboratory. Some works that they used as added idea in creating the model are the Chargaff’s rule and Franklin’s “X-ray Crystallography image of DNA.” Their final output is a “DNA Double Helix Model.”
Rosalind Franklin also contributed to the discovery of DNA especially on its structure. In her experiment, she was able to capture the first clear X-ray diffraction image of DNA in a cell using the technique of X-ray Crystallography. It shows the structure
