BACKGROUNDThediscoveryofthethree-dimensionalstructureofDNAwasmadepossiblebyearlierworkofmanyscientistswhohaduncoveredevidenceaboutheredity,genes,andDNA.ThefilmTheDoubleHelixmentionsmanyofthesefindings,whicharelistedinmoredetailbelow.

Thetrailofevidencebeginsinthe19thcentury,whenAustrianmonkGregorMendeldiscoveredpatternsinthewaycharacteristics,ortraits,areinheritedfromonegenerationtothenext.Doingexperimentsusinggardenpeaplants,Mendelfoundthattraitslikepeashapeandcolorarepassedfromparenttooffspringasdiscreteunitsinapredictableway.

Intheearly1900s,AmericangeneticistThomasHuntMorgandemonstratedthatthesediscreteunitsofheredity—orgenesastheywerebynowcalled—werelocatedonchromosomes.ChromosomeswereknowntobecomposedofDNAandprotein,butitwasunclearwhichofthetwotypesofmoleculeswasthesourceofgeneticinformation.

Mostresearchersfavoredproteinasthegeneticmaterial.Proteinsarebuiltfrom20distinctaminoacidcomponentsandshowgreatstructuraldiversityandspecificity.Incomparison,DNAseemedmonotonous.FrederichMiescher,aSwissphysician,hadfirstisolatedDNAfromwhitebloodcellsin1871.Shortlyafterthat,AmericanbiochemistPhoebusLeveneidentifiedthecomponentsofDNA:deoxyribosesugar,phosphate,andoneoffourdifferentnitrogenousbases.

In1938,BritishphysicistWilliamAstburytookthefirstx-raydiffractionimagesofDNA.HeusedtheseimagestobuildamodelofthestructureofDNAusingmetalplatesandrods.Whilehismodelwasverytentativeandcontainederrors,Astburycorrectlypositionedthebaseslyingflat,stackedlikeapileofpennies,0.34nmapart.

AseriesofexperimentssetthestageforestablishingthatgenesweremadeofDNAandnotproteins.FrederickGriffith’s1928experimentsshowedthatpneumococcalbacteriacouldtransfergeneticinformationbetweendifferentstrainsthroughaprocesshecalledtransformation.OswaldAvery,ColinMacLeod,andMaclynMcCartydeterminedthatthemoleculeresponsibleforthistransformationwasDNAandnotprotein.Averyandcolleagues’1944paperwasinitiallymetwithskepticism,asmanyscientistscontinuedtobelievethatproteinswerethegeneticmaterial.

Inthemeantime,moreinformationwasemergingaboutthestructureofDNA.AmericanbiochemistErwinChargaffreportedin1949thattheproportionsofthefournucleotidesinaDNAmoleculevariedbetween

species.However,withinaspecies,thepercentagesofadenine(A)andthymine(T)baseswerealwaysequal,aswerethepercentagesofguanine(G)andcytosine(C).ThesignificanceofthisfindingwasnotappreciateduntilWatsonhadtheinsighttouseittoinformthemodelofDNAhewasbuilding.

ThemostconvincingevidencethatDNAwasthemoleculeofhereditycamefromAlfredHersheyandMarthaChaseinapaperpublishedin1952.WorkingatColdSpringHarborLaboratoryonLongIsland,NY,theyusedradioactiveisotopesofsulfurandpotassiumtolabelproteinsandDNA,respectively,inbacteriophages—whicharevirusesthatinfectbacteria.TheexperimentshowedthatthebacteriophageDNA,andnottheproteins,enteredbacteriaforinfection.

AtthetimeoftheHershey-Chaseexperiment,anumberofgroupshadstartedworkingtodeterminethemolecularstructureofDNA.AmongthemwasLinusPaulingofCalTech,famousforhavingsolvedthestructureofseveralproteinsbybuildingmodelsbasedonchemicalbondingprinciplesandbiochemicalevidence.HewasaninspirationtoWatsonandCrickaswellasthepersonmostlikelytosolvethestructurebeforethem.In1951,Paulinghadproposedthatthepolypeptidechainsofproteinsfoldinα-helicalstructures.Today,theα-helixisknowntoformthebackboneoftensofthousandsofproteins.

Paulinghadturnedhismodel-buildingskillstothestructureofDNA.InEngland,MauriceWilkinsandRosalindFranklinatKing’sCollegeLondonwereusingx-raycrystallographytoanalyzeDNA’sstructure.Despiteafewconfusingblurryspots,theinitialimagestheyobtainedhintedthatDNAmightcomeintheformofatwistedspiral—orhelix.However,itwasnotclearhowthephosphates,sugars,andbaseswerearrayedwithinthathelix.

ShortlyafterWilkinsandFranklinbegantheirexperiments,WatsonandCrickdecidedtoworkonDNAaswell.InspiredbyPauling’swork,theystartedbuildingmodelsofDNAmolecules.UnlikeWilkinsandFranklin’s,theirapproachwastoformulateapossiblestructureofDNAandthendeterminewhetheritfitexperimentalobservations.Inoneoftheirfirstattempts,theycreatedahelixwiththreesugar-phosphatechainsheldtogetherbychemicalbondsfacilitatedbymagnesiumions,withthebasesprojectingoutwardfromthiscentralbackbone.

Franklinsawthatthemodeldidnotfitthex-rayevidence.Basedonhermeasurements,DNAfiberscontainedatleast10timesasmuchwaterasWatsonandCrick’smodelallowedfor,andtherewasnoevidencethatDNAwasassociatedwithmagnesiumions.Asconstructed,themodelcouldnotexplainhowthethreephosphatebackbonescouldbeheldtogetheratthecenterofthemolecule.(ShortlybeforeWatsonandCrickproducedtheirsuccessfuldouble-helixmodel,Paulingproducedhisownflawedtriple-helixmodel,againwiththephosphatesinthecenterofthemolecule,butwithoutmagnesiumions.Paulinghadhydrogenbondsholdingthephosphatechainstogether,butbasedonwhatwasknownaboutchemicalbondsthatmodelwasnotvalid.)

Franklin’smeasurementsofthewaterassociatedwithDNAsuggestedthatthephosphategroupswouldbelocatedinanaqueousenvironmentontheexterioroftheDNAmolecule.Ever-betterx-rayimages,includingFranklin’sfamousphotoB51,providedinformationaboutthedimensionsoftherepeatingsubunitsinaDNAmolecule.Inaddition,herimagesindicatedthatDNAmoleculeslookthesamewhentheyareturnedupsidedownandfronttoback.WhenCrickfoundoutaboutDNA’sdyadsymmetry,heinferredthatthephosphatechainsmustruninoppositeorientations,orantiparallel,tooneanother—abrilliantinsightthatFranklinandothershadmissed.

BuildingonthesecluesandWilkinsandFranklin’smeasurements,WatsonandCrickonceagainturnedtomodelstotesttheirhypothesesofDNAstructure.Thistimetheytriedbuildingmodelswithtwoantiparallelphosphatechainsontheoutsideofthemolecule.Inthisarrangement,thechainswouldhavetobeheldtogetherbythebasesontheinside,butWatsonandCrickwerenotsurehowthesebasesmightpairup.That’swhentheyrememberedChargaff’sratios.CrickreasonedthatAmustalwayspairwithTandGwithC.Butwherewerethebondsbetweenthesebases?TheyconsultedJ.N.Davidson’sTheBiochemistryofNucleicAcids,publishedin1950.However,aswithotherbooksofthattime,itcontainedincorrectforms,ortautomers,ofguanineandthymine(seefigure).Nomatterhowtheytried,thebasesdidnotformanicehydrogen-bondingpattern,asforexampleintheproteinbackboneofanα-helix.AvisitingAmericanchemist,JerryDonohue, lookedattheirbasestructuresandrealizedthatthesewerewrong.

KeyEvidenceCamefromX-rayDiffraction

Developedearlyinthe20thcentury,x-raycrystallographyallowstheindirectobservationofmolecularstructurestoosmalltobeseenorphotographed.Thefather-sonteamofWilliamH.andWilliamL.BraggsharedtheNobelPrizein1915forusingx-raystorevealhowtherepeatingstructuresofcrystalsform.Tablesaltwasthefirstcrystalstructuresolvedbyx-raycrystallographyin1914,soonfollowedbytherepeatingcarbonstructureofdiamond.DorothyHodgkinandMaxPerutzwerepioneersinsolvingthestructuresoforganicmoleculescontainingmorecomplexatomicarrangements,includingcholesterol,penicillin,vitaminB12,insulin,andhemoglobin.

WilliamL.BraggwasdirectoroftheCavendishLaboratoryatthetimethatWatsonandCrickwerethere.Hehadbeenstrivingtodeterminethestructuresofproteincomponents,butLinusPaulinggottherefirstbydiscoveringthestructureoftheα-helix.

X-raycrystallographyinvolvesmountingamoleculeonastageandbombardingitwithabeamofx-rays.Thewavelengthsofx-raysaresoshortthattheybounceoffatomswithinthemolecule,scatteringatspecificanglesthatdependonthedistancesbetweenatomsofvarioussizes.Thescatteredx-raysproducepatternsthatcanbecapturedonphotographicfilmordigitally.Tointerpretthesepatterns,crystallographersmustdeterminewhenx-raysscatteredfromdifferentatomsoverlap.Thisoverlapchangestheintensityofspotsinthex-raypattern.

Two-dimensionalimagestakenatdifferentanglesareconvertedintoathree-dimensionalmodelofthemoleculeusingmathematicalcalculationstermedFouriertransformations,whichallowthepositionsofatomswithinthemoleculetobedetermined.Whenaveragedovermanyobservations,thesemeasurementscanbeaccuratetojustafractionofanångstrom(orone10-billionthofameter).

Thenumberofx-raysdiffractedbyasinglemoleculewouldsimplybetoosmalltobeobserved.Therefore,x-raycrystallographyexaminesmanyidenticalmoleculespackedintoahighlyregularthree-dimensionalarrayratherthansinglemolecules.Becausethex-raystravelthroughmanylayersofatoms,it’simportantthattheatomsalwaysoccurinthesamearrangementinallthemoleculesinasample.Iftheydon’t,thex-raysarebentintooverlappingpatterns,resultinginblurryorcompletelysmeareddiffractionpatternsthatcannotbeinterpretedorprovideverypoorresolution.Becausecrystalshavearepeatingarrangementofatomsinidenticalorientation,theyleaveapatternofsharp,clearspots.Forthisreason,biologicalmoleculesaretypicallyturnedintocrystals,orcrystallized,beforetheyareanalyzedwithx-rays.Infactmuchtimeandeffortmaybespentin“growing”crystalsofaparticularmoleculeofinterest,andthiscanbetherate-limitingstepinaresearchefforttosolveamolecularstructure.

Franklintookx-raysnotofcrystalsbutofDNAfibersthat,althoughthin,consistedofthousandsofindividualDNAmoleculestightlyarrayed,somewhatliketheindividualstrandsofthickrope,orhairgatheredintoaponytail.Whilenotincrystalform,theDNAhadasufficientlyregulararrangementtodiffractx-raysinawaythatproduceddecipherablepatterns.

ByexposingDNAtovaryinglevelsofatmospherichumidity,FranklinandhergraduatestudentRaymondGoslingdemonstratedthatDNAexistedintwoforms,whichtheycalledAandB.The“dry”Aformoccurswhentherelativehumidityislessthan75%andproducesascatteredx-raydiffractionpatternconsistingofmanydistinctspots.Watermoleculesclingtothe“wet”B-formDNA,causingthestrandstoelongate,producinganX-shapeddiffractionpattern.Becauseallmoleculesincellsareimmersedinliquid,theB-formDNAistheformthatexistsprimarilyinsidecells.Itwasnotuntil1980thatanactualcrystalstructureofmorethanacompleteturnofB-

FranklinhadinitiallyfocusedherattentiononA-formDNAbecauseshethoughtthoseimagescontainedmoreinformation.ItwasinfactoneoftheA-formphotosthathadrevealedthatthetwostrandsofDNAraninoppositedirections,althoughneitherFranklinnortheothershadbeenabletointerprettheevidencetomakethisconclusion—itwasFrancisCrickwhorealizeditssignificance.

ThefamousphotoB51,takenbyFranklinandGoslinginMay1952,wasofB-formDNA.(Asitwasthe51stphototaken,FranklinlabeledtheimageB51.)TheX-shapeddiffractionpatternischaracteristicofahelicalmolecule.

TheDiscoveryoftheStructureofDNALedtoKeyInsights

OnthemorningofFebruary28,1953,WatsonconstructedthemodelofDNAthatunlockedthesecretoflife.Twomonthslater,WatsonandCrickpublishedtheirfindingsinNatureinapapertitled“Astructurefordeoxyribosenucleicacid.”Inthesameissue,immediatelyfollowingWatsonandCrick’spaper,wasapaperwrittenbyWilkinsandhiscolleaguesAlecStokesandHerbertWilson.ThethirdpaperintheserieswaswrittenbyFranklinandGosling.Wilkins’andFranklin’spaperspresentedtheevidencetheyhadobtained,corroboratingWatsonandCrick’sproposedstructureofDNA.

AnunderstandingofthestructureofDNAprovidedanexplanationofhowDNAfunctionedasthehereditarymaterial.WatsonandCricknotedthisintheirNaturepaper.Theywrote:“Ithasnotescapedournoticethatthespecificpairingwehavepostulatedimmediatelysuggestsapossiblecopyingmechanismforthegeneticmaterial.”BecauseAisalwayspairedwithTandGwithC,theorderofbasesononestranddeterminestheorderontheother.Thus,ifaDNAmoleculewereunwound,eachstrandcouldbecopiedintoacomplementarystrand,producinganexactreplicaoftheoriginalmolecule.Errorsinthecopyingmechanismcouldresultinmutations,orchangesintheDNAsequence,thatcouldbeinheritedbyfuturegenerations.

In1962,Watson,Crick,andWilkinswereawardedtheNobelPrizeinPhysiologyorMedicine“fortheirdiscoveriesconcerningthemolecularstructureofnucleicacidsanditssignificanceforinformationtransferinlivingmaterial.”Franklin’sdeathin1958fromovariancancerprecludedherfromreceivingmanyofthehonorsforthediscoveryofDNA’sstructure,includingthepossibilityofsharingintheNobelPrize,whichcannotbeawardedposthumously.

Ittookseveralyearsofsubsequentstudy,includingaclassic1958experimentbyAmericangeneticistsMatthewMeselsonandFranklinStahl,beforetheexactrelationshipbetweenDNAstructureandreplicationwasunderstood(Meselson,M.,andStahl,F.1958.ThereplicationofDNAinEscherichiacoli.ProceedingsoftheNationalAcademyofSciences44,671–682).

6. (KeyConceptsEandF)Scientistsbuildmodelsbasedonwhattheyknowfrompreviousresearchtoderivetestablehypotheses.Independently,bothWatsonandCrickandtheircompetitorLinusPaulingconstructedanincorrecttriple-helixmodelwiththenitrogenousbasesarrangedsotheywereontheexteriorofthemoleculeandthephosphategroupsontheinterior.

a. Althoughtheirmodelwaswrong,whatassumptionmadeitreasonabletobuildamodelwiththebasesprojecting totheoutside?

Thebasescontainthegeneticinformationastheyvaryinamountbetweenspeciesandintheirarrangementwithinthemolecule;basedonthisinformationitwasreasonabletoassumethatthebaseswouldbeontheoutsideoftheDNAmolecule.

b. WhatevidencecausedWatsonandCricktorevisetheirmodel?

Basedonthefilm,studentsshouldrealizethatinformationaboutthedimensionsofthedoublehelixfromFranklin’simages,aswellasChargaff’spairingrulesforthebases,ledthemtoarevisedmodel.ThefilmsaysthatWatsonhadmisrememberedsomekeymeasurementsfromFranklin’swork.HerimagesshowedtherewasmuchmorewaterinDNAthanthetriple-helixmodelallowed.Further,thetriple-helixmodelcouldnotexplainhowthethreephosphatebackbonescouldbeheldtogether.(Studentsmaynotknowtheselasttwopointsastheyarenotexplicitlystatedinthefilm.)

7. (KeyConceptC)EvenbeforethestructureofDNAwassolved,studiesindicatedthatthegeneticmaterialmusthavethefollowingproperties:

• beabletostoreinformation;

• befaithfullyreplicatedandbepassedonfromgenerationtogeneration;and

• allowforchanges,andthusevolution,tooccur.

ExplainhowthestructureofthedoublehelixshowedthatDNAhadtheseproperties.Writeoneortwosentencesperpoint.

Theorderofthebases,A,T,G,andC,containedinformation.BecauseAisalwayspairedwithTandGwithC,theorderofbasesononestranddeterminestheorderontheotherstrand.Thus,ifaDNAmoleculewereunwound,eachstrandcouldbecopiedintoacomplementarystrand,producinganexactreplicaoftheoriginalmolecule.Errorsinthecopyingmechanismcouldresultinmutations,orchangesintheDNAsequence,thatcouldbeinheritedbyfuturegenerations.
