Crick, Francis Harry Compton
Crick, Francis Harry Compton (1916–2004) British molecular biologist, who in 1951 teamed up with James
Watson at Cambridge University to try to find the structure of
DNA. This they achieved in 1953, using the X-ray diffraction data of Rosalind Franklin (1920–58) and Maurice Wilkins (1916– ). Crick went on to investigate
codons and the role of transfer
RNA. Crick, Watson, and Wilkins shared a Nobel Prize in 1962.
