Francis Crick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In 1995, Francis Crick was one of the original endorsers of the Ashley Montagu Resolution to petition for an end to the genital mutilations of children. Professor Francis Harry Compton Crick, OM FRS (8 June 1916– 28 July 2004) was a British physicist, molecular biologist and neuroscientist, most noted for being one of the co-discoverers of the structure of the DNA molecule in 1953. Crick was born and raised in Weston Favell a village near the town of Northampton where Crick’s father and uncle ran the family’s boot and shoe factory. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Francis_Crick   (7049 words)

Francis Crick - MSN Encarta Francis Crick (1916-2004), British biophysicist and cowinner of the 1962 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine. Crick shared the prize with American biologist James D. Watson and British biophysicist Maurice Wilkins for their discoveries about the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the molecule that transmits genetic information from generation to generation. Crick initially studied the structure of hemoglobin, a red, iron-rich protein that carries oxygen in the blood. encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_761568380/Francis_Crick.html   (822 words)

A Visit With Dr. Francis Crick Watson and Dr. Francis Crick's breakthrough, and the ensuing investigations into the nature of the genetic code and its transmission of information from generation to generation, have redefined the study of genetics and virtually created the science of molecular biology. Dr. Francis Crick's verve for a project has often been interpreted as immodesty, but his candid questioning of his colleagues, of himself, and most importantly, of their scientific methods has been instrumental in radically changing our world. What follows is a transcript of a visit with Dr. Francis Crick (1916-2004), co-discoverer of the structure of the DNA molecule. www.accessexcellence.org /AE/AEC/CC/crick.html   (4233 words)

SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Nation -- Francis Crick, 1916 – 2004 Francis Crick, who was 88, died last night at Thornton Hospital in San Diego after a long battle with colon cancer. Crick's name became scientific legend in 1953 when he and Watson, then just 36 and 24 years old, respectively, cracked the DNA code, revealing the structure and nature of the now-famous double helix of deoxyribonucleic acid. Crick is survived by his wife; their two daughters, Gabrielle and Jaqueline, and a son, Michael, from his previous marriage. www.signonsandiego.com /news/nation/20040729-701-040729crick.html   (2166 words)

Francis H.C. Crick, 88, Dies; DNA Discovery Altered Science (washingtonpost.com) Francis H.C. Crick, 88, co-discoverer of one of the most important scientific findings of the 20th century, the recognition of the double helix structure of DNA as the blueprint of life, died Wednesday at San Diego's Thornton Hospital. Crick and Sydney Brenner from the University of Cambridge accurately proposed the existence of small chemicals known as "adapters" that are needed to assemble proteins, one amino acid at a time, from genetic instructions. Crick's wife, Odile Speed, said he made the same announcement to her, but she disregarded it because he was always coming home and saying things like that. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-dyn/articles/A24495-2004Jul29.html   (1521 words)

Francis Crick's controversial archive on first public display Francis Crick is one of the outstanding British scientific figures of the 20th century and his discovery of the structure of DNA (with James Watson) is widely recognized as one of the defining and enabling moments in the history of human achievement. Material from the controversial archive of Francis Crick goes on display for the first time as part of a new exhibition celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the discovery of the structure of DNA at the Wellcome Trust. The Crick display focuses on what Crick has termed "the classical period" of molecular biology, the thirteen-year period from 1953 when the structure of DNA was identified to 1966 when the genetic code was finally unravelled in its entirety. www.wellcome.ac.uk /doc_WTD002850.html   (1656 words)

Francis Crick biography Crick, Watson and Wilkins are awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material". Crick proposes the 'sequence hypothesis' (that DNA sequence is a code for protein sequence), predicts the existence of 'adaptors' (transfer RNAs), and proposes the 'central dogma&; (that 'information' flows from DNA to protein, but not back again).

Edge: THE ASTONISHING FRANCIS CRICK by V.S. Ramachandran The title of Rama's talk, "The Astonishing Francis Crick", is from the recent "Francis Crick Memorial Lecture" he gave at the center for the philosophical foundations of science in New Delhi, India, at the invitation of Professor Ranjit Nair. Crick played a direct role in the intellectual development of CHIP (Center for Human Information Processing—now renamed CBC—Center for Brain and Cognition) which was a brainchild of George Mandler.
