So what was Photo 51 and why was it so important? I will try to give a brief and distilled account below. he at last admitted that Photo 51 was absolutely essential information for construction of the model. the Franklin photograph was the key event. It was not until 1999 that Watson finally said that ‘. Very belatedly, her name is becoming much better known and the public are being disabused of the veracity of the scurrilous comments about her in the famous book, The Double Helix, an account written by James Watson of the DNA structure discovery. However, the debate still rages on as to whether, given the climate at the time, she would have been included instead of one of the three awardees.Ī realisation of the vital importance of Rosalind Franklin’s work has only gradually gained traction. The Prize went to Francis Crick, James Watson, and Maurice Wilkins ‘for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material’. Each Nobel Prize can be bestowed on a maximum of three people and is never awarded posthumously. There is now a general consensus that, if she had lived longer, she would have ’deserved’ to be among the three awardees of the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth on 25th July 1920 of Rosalind Franklin, whose pivotal contribution to the discovery of the structure of DNA has been increasingly recognised since her untimely death from ovarian cancer at the age of 37 in 1958.
