The Structure of DNA - Watson & Crick’s Discovery
In 1953, two young scientists published a one-page paper in Nature that would forever change biology. Their discovery? The structure of DNA — the double helix.
In this episode of Decode: Science, we break down Watson & Crick’s legendary paper “A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid”.
What clues led to their model? Why did it matter so much? And how does the shape of DNA explain how life stores and copies information?
From chemistry to heredity, this paper didn’t just describe a molecule — it described the logic of life.
