The Scent Profile

Rosalind Franklin

This candle represents a Biology/Genomics concept.

Rosalind Franklin - A Giant in Genomics

Rosalind Franklin, a British chemist and X-ray crystallographer, was the pioneer scientist that allowed the world to see the real shape of the DNA molecule. In May 1952, she took the first X-ray diffraction image of DNA, known as Photo 51, which revealed the double helix structure of DNA.

DNA exists in two forms - A and B. A-DNA exists in a shorter, more compact helical structure that forms when under dehydrating conditions. B-DNA defines the DNA molecule as we know it, the perfect helical structure that predominates in cells. Photo 51 captured the B form of DNA.

The discovery unlocked many of the mysteries of genetics and heredity. Her work led to a revolution in Biology research that defined post-World War II science.
