富兰克林:一位过早凋谢的科学之花

Franklin, An Early-wizen Scientific Flower

富兰克林是一位著名的女科学家 ,她的DNA晶体X射线衍射照片对DNA双螺旋的发现起着决定性的作用 ,但她的早逝使其与诺贝尔奖擦肩而过 ,不能不说是科学史上的一件憾事。本文将简要介绍富兰克林的一生 ,重点在她对DNA结构的阐明所发挥的重要作用 ,从而对这位女科学家有一个全面的认识。

Rosalind Elsie Franklin is distinguished woman scientist, who X-ray photographs of DNA crystal contributed directly to the discovery of the double helix, but her premature death lead to her lose of Nobel Prize. In this paper, Franklin's whole life is briefly introduced, which emphasize her crucial role in elucidation of DNA structure. All these give us general comprehension to this woman scientist.
