The science mastered by Rosalind Franklin, PhD, and celebrated throughout 2014 during the International Year of Crystallography continues to help researchers visualize and understand how protein structures function at the atomic level.Franklin used x-ray crystallography to send a beam of x-ray radiation through a suspended DNA fiber. The resulting diffraction pattern was captured on photographic film, resulting in the now famous Photo 51, a crystalline image of a hydrated “B” form of DNA, which revealed the molecule’s helical structure. The image provided data crucial to the discovery of the structure of DNA—the single most important advance in modern biology.
