The 23 pages that link to Double helix, each with the reason it gives.

• Nobel Prize in Physiology or MedicineBroader topic: The 1962 prize recognized discoveries about its structure and genetic significance.

• X-ray crystallographyBroader topic: X-ray diffraction evidence was central to establishing its geometry.

• DNABroader topic: The double helix is the characteristic three-dimensional arrangement of cellular DNA.

• DNA replicationRelated: Its paired strands must separate before each can guide synthesis.

• Francis CrickBroader topic: Crick and Watson’s model explained how DNA could store and copy information.

• Rosalind FranklinRelated: Its portrayal of Franklin influenced public debate about her treatment and scientific credit.

• Linus PaulingCompared with: Its geometry resolved the structural problem that Pauling’s proposed triple helix did not.

• NucleobaseNarrower topic: Base pairing and stacking stabilize the double helix.

• University College LondonBroader topic: UCL-associated research helped establish the molecular biology surrounding DNA’s structure and function.

• Homologous recombinationNarrower topic: Complementary base pairing lets an intact duplex serve as a repair template.

• James WatsonRelated: The book made Watson’s account of the discovery widely known and remains contested for its portrayal of colleagues.

• Watson–Crick base pairingRelated: Base pairs bridge the strands and help maintain the helix's regular shape.

• NatureRelated: Nature published Watson and Crick's 1953 proposal of the double-helical structure.

• Nucleotide excision repairRelated: Repair proteins recognize distortions in the helix and copy information from the undamaged strand.

• DeoxyriboseRelated: Deoxyribose’s geometry helps shape the backbone surrounding the helix.

• Maurice WilkinsRelated: Wilkins’s diffraction work helped establish the helical structure proposed in 1953.

• DNA adductRelated: Adduct size and position determine how much this structure is distorted.

• Base pairNarrower topic: Base pairs connect its strands and form the helix’s rungs.

• Matthew MeselsonNarrower topic: Complementary strands provide the structural basis for semiconservative copying.

• DNA structureBroader topic: This is the characteristic three-dimensional arrangement of most cellular DNA.

• Robert W. HolleyCompared with: The double helix concerns genetic storage; Holley’s work addressed RNA’s role in translating that information.

• Tomas LindahlNarrower topic: Its apparent structural stability made Lindahl’s evidence of continual chemical decay especially consequential.

• History of biotechnologyRelated: Its structural discovery helped turn heredity into a molecular engineering problem.
