Francis Harry Compton Crick 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. Crick was born and raised in Weston Favell near the town of Northampton where Crick’s father and uncle ran the family’s boot and shoe factory. Crick was elected a fellow of CSICOP in 1983 and a Humanist Laureate of the International Academy of Humanism in the same year. www.firebird.cn /wiki/Francis_Harry_Compton_Crick   (5681 words)

Francis Crick timeline Francis Harry Compton Crick is born 8 June in Northampton, England. 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). www.wellcome.ac.uk /en/genome/geneticsandsociety/hg13b002.html   (346 words)

Francis Harry Compton Crick Biography / Biography of Francis Harry Compton Crick 1950 To Present: Life Sciences Biography In 1962 Francis Crick shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine with James Watson (1928-)and Maurice Wilkins (1916-) for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and its significance for the transmission of genetic information. Crick believed that biological research could provide scientific explanations for areas that were regarded as mysteries, such as the borderline between the living and the nonliving and the problems of consciousness, areas now known as molecular biology and neurobiology. The structure of DNA proposed by Crick and Watson in 1953 immediately suggested insights into the nature of the gene, the genetic code, and mechanism by which information stored in DNA was transmitted from generation to generation. www.bookrags.com /biography-francis-harry-compton-crick-scit-0712   (755 words)

Francis Harry Compton Crick (1916-2004) Francis Crick, joint winner of the 1962 Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine for the groundbreaking discovery of the DNA double helix structure has died at the age of 88 in his home town of La Jolla, California, US. The Francis Crick Lecture is awarded annually to recognise the achievements of younger researchers in the biological sciences. By 1966, Crick had apparently decided that, with molecular biology safely in hand, it was time to move on to new areas, and so began to work on embryology. www.rsc.org /chemistryworld/Issues/2004/September/franciscrick.asp   (716 words)

Francis Harry Compton Crick & James Dewey Watson Francis Harry Compton Crick was born on June 8, 1916 in Northampton, England. At the age of 24, Francis Harry Compton Crick married Ruth Doreen Dodd. At this time, James Watson also met Francis Harry Compton Crick and together they discovered in March 1953, the structure of the DNA molecule known as the double helix. www.ceemast.csupomona.edu /nova/crick.html   (719 words)

Crick, Francis Harry Compton (1916-2004) More recently, Crick had been involved with examining the possibility that RNA was the first replicator molecule on Earth during an early biological era known as the "RNA world". He was led by his belief that the chances of life originating on Earth were very low to argue the case for panspermia and, in particular, a radical form of this hypothesis known as directed panspermia. www.daviddarling.info /encyclopedia/C/Crick.html   (174 words)

GNN - Francis Harry Compton Crick (1916-2004) Francis Harry Compton Crick, who co-discovered the helical structure of the DNA molecule in 1953 and went on to shape the early agenda of molecular biology, died this week in La Jolla, California. The discovery of its molecular structure, by Francis Crick and James Watson, immediately suggested that DNA—not a protein, as was widely imagined—was the master molecule that contains the genes, self-replicates and recombines during reproduction. In honor of Crick’s contributions to DNA science and genomics, GNN highlights two entries about his work from our Genetics and Genomics Timeline. www.genomenewsnetwork.org /articles/2004/07/29/crick.php   (272 words)

Blog of Death: Francis Crick Francis Harry Compton Crick, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist and biochemist who co-discovered the "double-helix" structure of DNA, died on July 28 after a long battle with colon cancer. Crick was born in Northampton, England, with an insatiable curiosity about the world. Two years later, Crick and Watson entered a nearby pub and announced that they had found "the secret of life." In reality, they had determined that a DNA molecule resembled a twisted ladder, or double helix shape. www.blogofdeath.com /archives/001107.html   (376 words)

Crick, Francis Harry Compton Crick and Watson published their work on the proposed structure of DNA in 1953. Using Wilkins's and others' discoveries, Crick and Watson postulated that DNA consists of a double helix consisting of two parallel chains of alternate sugar and phosphate groups linked by pairs of organic bases.

Bloomfield Science Museum/Francis Harry Compton Crick Francis Crick is in the heart of this controversy. On the other hand, the process by which Crick and his colleagues arrived at the discovery is one of the best documented and known in the history of Science, recorded and analyzed both by the prime protagonists themselves and by competent historians. The second component of Crick's success was his realization that one had to bring many disciplines to bear on the problem, and his willingness to learn what he did not know; as well as the cross-fertilization of working with others - Watson in particular - whose knowledge and capabilities were complementary to his own. www.mada.org.il /website/html/eng/2_1_1-6.htm   (633 words)

Francis Crick Francis Crick's grandfather was a shoemaker, and an amateur scientist of some renown. Without Watson, Crick has worked on the structures of polyglycine II and collagen, and researched protein synthesis, the genetic code, and acridine-type mutants. The evidence clearly shows she was intimately involved in the research of DNA's structure; that she pointed out the flaws in an early Crick-Watson theory that suggested three, not two, DNA chains; and that Crick and Watson used Franklin's x-ray DNA photographs before obtaining her permission. www.nndb.com /people/321/000022255   (347 words)
