Darwin College: Academic Life - Darwin Lectures The Discovery of the Double Helix. Professor sir aaron klug MRC Laboratory of MolecularBiology, Cambridge. Professor sir aaron klug. Speakers in this Series. http://www.dar.cam.ac.uk/lectures/2003/AaronKlugAbstract.shtml
Extractions: MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge The structure of the DNA double helix, with its complementary base pairing, is one of the greatest discoveries in biology in the 20th Century. It was also most dramatic, since, quite unexpectedly, the structure itself pointed to the way in which a DNA molecule might replicate itself, and hence revealed the "secret of life". The structure was solved in the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge by Francis Crick and James Watson, using X-ray diffraction data from fibres of DNA obtained by Rosalind Franklin at King's College, London. The lecture aims to tell the story of the origin of the research on DNA, the early experiments by Maurice Wilkins at King's College, the sorting out of the two forms of DNA by Franklin, the wrong paths taken, the interplay of old rivalries, and the final model-building by Watson and Crick to give the three dimensional structure. The initial, often hesitant, reception of the proposed structure, and its final confirmation by biochemistry and X-ray crystallography, will be described.

Extractions: There are several items in this file: On 25th June 1997, the President of the Royal Society, Sir Aaron Klug, unveiled the memorial plaque on the wall in Birkbeck College, University of London, just outside the new Rosalind Franklin Laboratory. He had just entertained us with a lecture 'Rosalind Franklin and the Double Helix', (reported below). He paused before the unveiling to reminisce that in weather like this (it had been raining heavily all that day in London) in the older area of laboratory where they worked in the 1950s they sometimes worked under an umbrella beneath leaky skylights. Happily, the new laboratory roof did not leak. Dr Neil McDonald can be seen in the cover picture showing Sir Aaron some of the equipment in the 'Rosalind Franklin Laboratory' . I am grateful to the Crystallography Department, Birkbeck College for copies of their photographs and permission to reproduce them here.

Extractions: Before going on a well-earned holiday our local organiser gave me a short message for you; the Conference Organiser sends her thanks: The dust is finally settling after the largest crystallography conference ever held. The statistics tell some of the story: over 2,620 attendees, more than 500 lectures, and in excess of 2,300 abstracts, but they cannot convey the sheer energy of the delegates and this meeting. It was held in the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre on the banks of the River Clyde in Glasgow. The permanent staff here see meetings come and go on a regular basis, but even they were delighted by how pleasant crystallographers are, and amazed at how hard they work! They thought they were the best bunch of people with whom they had ever worked. The social events: the opening ceremony, whisky tasting and blending, learn to dance, the gala ceilidh and the farewell fling left no-one in any doubt that they were in Scotland and seemed to have been enjoyed in a relaxed and friendly way. The city also took crystallographers to its heart: how many of you were quizzed by taxi drivers as to what crystallographers actually do?
Extractions: Next Chapter I say not this, as disapproving the use of Universities: but .... must let you see ..... the way, what things would be amended in them; amongst which the frequency of insignificant Speech is one. (Hobbes: Leviathan Cambridge and the MRC were also asked for copies of their institutional codes of practice with particular regard to the publication of false or misleading statements in the scientific literature. Both bodies reported that they have no such code or formal procedure for investigating complaints, simply leaving such matters to their respective senior officers. Later, a copy of an investigative procedure from the MRC was received via the British cabinet office, so it may subsequently have begun to develop a process for investigating complaints. No codification of proper practice, or definition of malpractice, has been received from either body. In other words, neither is willing to state explicitly that they prohibit falsification of the scientific literature. "Pursuing Academic Excellence." (Mission Statement, Cambridge University)

Extractions: Photo Credits Crystallography Contributions Publications Honors Jobs/Positions Education Additional Information As a scientist Miss Franklin was distinguished by extreme clarity and perfection in everything she undertook. Her photographs are among the most beautiful X-ray photographs of any substance ever taken. Their excellence was the fruit of extreme care in preparation and mounting of the specimens as well as in the taking of the photographs. J. D. Bernal [1958 N] Best known for her work on DNA, not only the excellent X-ray diffraction photographs which she obtained by painstaking and systematic work, but also her insight into what they implied. Rosalind Franklin made crucial contributions to the solution of the structure of DNA. She discovered the B form, recognized that two states of the DNA molecule existed and defined conditions for the transition. From early on, she realized that any correct model must have the phosphate groups on the outside of the molecule. She laid the basis for the quantitative study of the diffraction patterns, and after the formation of the Watson - Crick model she demonstrated that a double helix was consistent with the X-ray patterns of both the A and B forms. Sir Aaron Klug [1968 N] Her colleague Maurice Wilkins, without obtaining her permission, made available to Watson and Crick her then unpublished X-ray diffraction pattern of the B form of DNA , which was crucial evidence for the helical structure. In his account of this discovery, Watson wrote

Site Map SPECIAL REPORTS Investor's Centre NI_MPU('middle'); The university insists that it is simply responding to a lack of student demand. Science subjects, which are more expensive to teach than arts subjects, have come under particular pressure after cuts in Government funding over the past two decades. The picture is almost as bleak in physics: there are 51 universities (out of 100) offering first degrees in the subject, a fall of 30 per cent since 1994. The chemistry department is one of several facing closure because of a strategic change of direction by the university. The others due for the chop include sociology, anthropology and philosophy. Professor Davies said the decision reflected changing tastes among students and that there were too many other chemistry courses competing for a declining number of undergraduates.

Royal Society on 'Mad cow' disease What follows is a press release from the Royal Society followed by a detailed statement on bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). The Society has been involved for many years in the BSE debate. In 1990 an RS/ABSW Press briefing was run on the scientific and research aspects of BSE. In 1993 the Society ran a two-day scientific conference with leading experts from around the world to discuss prion diseases (of which BSE is an example). The Society has been seriously considering the recent situation and today issued the following briefing. Please contact me at the Society on telephone number 0171 451 2516 if you would like any further information.
