In April 1953, Watson and Crick, two well-known scientists, published an article which forever changed the knowledge about genetics. Our biology teacher showed us this article for us to learn more about the discovery of the structure of the DNA, the basic and unique molecule of LIFE.
In this article, Watson and Crick firstly present the structure of the biomolecule; the third model created and yet the first correct one. Along with the structure they explain the chemistry behind the connections that make this molecule functional.
In a second part, they prove that their model is the only correct one by showing what other scientists had done wrong.
With the reading of the article we learned about the discovery that created genetic science. We already know everything about DNA, if you read this article you’ll know it too!

Amazing! Who knew this elegant molecular structure was responsible for life itself, it's absolutely astonoshing. Thank you for disclosing this discovery made by Watson and Crick, truly brilliant scientists.
