  5. Adaptor hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptor_hypothesis

    Coming across Gamow's paper, Crick immediately noticed some issues in the scheme. The first was that he and Watson never had before counted the 20 amino acids or the possible 20 nucleotide triplets [19] (although Gamow was subsequently proven to be correct and his model was the first prediction of the genetic code [17] [23]). The other issue ...

    Firstly they showed that X-ray crystallography could be used to reveal the regular, ordered structure of DNA – an insight which laid the foundations for the later work of Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin, [1] after which the structure of DNA was identified by Francis Crick and James D. Watson in 1953. Secondly, they did this work at a ...
