Crick, 88, Dies; DNA Discovery Altered Science By Patricia Sullivan Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, July 30, 2004; Page A01 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. He had colon cancer. Crick's powerful intellect and willingness to cross the boundaries of scientific disciplines led him and colleague James D. Watson to understand the "twisted ladder" structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, which carries information about heredity. What they learned was that each strand of the double helix could become a template for copying an organism's genes, and that replication is the way that every living cell has been created. After that discovery in 1953, scientific understanding leapfrogged previously insurmountable barriers, ultimately giving birth to the $30 billion-a-year biotechnology industry. Scientists also placed human genes in bacteria to create new drugs and vaccines. They manipulated plant genes to resist disease, used bits of stray DNA to identify criminals, and improved couples' chances of having babies. The discovery helped scientists understand how humans inherit traits and how that system of inheritance further explains evolution.

Crick, Francis Harry Compton Crick, Francis Harry Compton(1916- ), British biophysicist, who helped determine the structure of DNA, a large molecule that stores an organism's genetic information. Born in Northampton England , he obtained a Ph.D. degree in physics at Caius College University of Cambridge , and in 1949 took a position at Cambridge 's Laboratory of Molecular Biology. In the early 1950s Crick and the American biochemist James Dewey Watson, with the aid of X-ray diffraction images of large biological molecules made by the British biophysicist Maurice Wilkins, determined the three-dimensional structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). DNA is the substance that transmits genetic characteristics from one generation to the next, and knowledge of its structure led to rapid advances in genetics. Crick, Watson, and Wilkins shared the 1962 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for their work. Crick continued studies of the genetic code and also investigated viruses. In 1976 he joined the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in California , where he became involved in studies on how the brain functions.

His Uncle Walter also had a fascination with science, and young Francis conducted some chemical experiments with him (and without him). As a young man, Crick studied physics at University College in London, but was interrupted by service in World War II. Afterward, he resumed his studies at Caius College in Cambridge. At Cambridge, he met an American named James Watson , and together with their colleague Maurice Wilkins, they tried to elucidate the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). They felt Linus Pauling , then the world's most famous chemist, was breathing down their necks, and they desperately wanted to solve the DNA riddle before he did. Pauling had already come close, but it was Crick, Watson, and Wilkins who first showed that the collected clues only made sense if DNA were structured like two twisting, spiral ladders the double helix.

Internet Access Nobelist, colleagues cracked DNA code By Scott LaFee UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER 7:01 a.m. July 29, 2004 The man who helped discover the secret of life is dead. 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. The discovery, reported in the journal Nature, earned the two men the 1962 Nobel Prize for medicine, which they shared with Maurice Wilkins. More profoundly, it arguably altered the state of human existence, inevitably touching almost every aspect of modern life. The biotechnology industry, for example, is based largely upon Crick's and Watson's discovery. So, too, are genetically engineered foods like bigger tomatoes and innovative medical technologies like gene therapy. Law enforcement agencies now routinely collect and test DNA from crime scenes, either to convict the guilty or set the innocent free. Social issues such as whether to have children are now often affected by expanded knowledge of DNA and its role in heredity. "History will judge him certainly as one of the influential biologists of the 20th century, if not the most influential," said Richard Murphy, president of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, which Crick joined in 1976.

II Early Education and Research Print Preview of Section Crick was born in Northampton, England. His father owned a footwear factory and encouraged Crick’s early interest in scientific experiments. Crick attended the local grammar school and won a scholarship to Mill Hill School in North London at the age of 14. At University College, London, he studied physics. After graduation in 1937, Crick briefly pursued his doctoral degree studying the properties of water under high temperatures and pressures. His studies were interrupted by World War II (1939-1945), during which Crick worked for the scientific service of the British Admiralty, helping to design magnetic and acoustic

In 1947, he married Odile Speed, and the couple had two daughters, Gabrielle and Jacqueline. 1947 also marked a significant change in his working life, as Crick moved to Strangeways Laboratory, Cambridge, where he studied the physical properties of cytoplasm in cultured fibroblast cells, a task he found intellectually limiting.

Francis Crick, RIP The Man, the Mind, and the Molecule n April 25, 1953, the scientific journal Nature announced to the world the beginning of a new age in biology. “We wish to suggest a structure for the salt of deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA),” began an article by two young scientists in that day’s issue. And with typically British understatement it continued, “This structure has novel features which are of considerable biological interest.” The Briton behind that understatement was Francis Harry Compton Crick, who died in July 2004 at the age of 88. Crick, together with his American colleague James Watson, discovered the double helix structure of DNA and gave a massive boost to the modern science of molecular biology, and with it the biotechnology revolution. The two men (together with Maurice Wilkins who had done related work) shared the 1962 Nobel Prize in Medicine for the discovery. Crick was born on June 8, 1916 in Northampton, England, where his father was a shoemaker. Before he was 10, young Francis had demonstrated a deep interest in science, and particularly chemistry and physics. He earned a degree in physics at University College, London in 1937, and set out on a fairly mundane course of research into the viscosity of water under pressure. When the Second World War broke out, Crick was put to work for the British Navy developing magnetic and acoustic mines for use against German submarines and ships. After the war’s end, he found himself unsure of what work to pursue, and he followed what he would later describe as the “gossip test,” by which whatever you find yourself gossiping about with friends and colleagues is what interests you. Crick said he found himself gossiping most about the promise of two fields: molecular biology and neuroscience. Of the two, molecular biology seemed to him most readily appealing, and so he pursued the subject at Cambridge, working first as a researcher on a project examining cell cytoplasm, and then studying the structure of proteins with X-ray diffraction.

There will be plenty left for you to find out," a mother reassured her ten-year-old son. Fascinated by science, he had one overwhelming fear: that by the time he grew up, everything would have been discovered. "Ducky" was Francis Harry Compton Crick, and there was indeed plenty left. He devoted his life to 'finding out,' cracking the secret of DNA's helical structure and function and later turning his attention to the biological foundations of consciousness. Crick's inquisitive mind was stopped only by his death on July 28, 2004, after a long battle with cancer. Only after the war did Crick seriously consider a career in research. His friends did not always facilitate the decision-making process. Some thought he might be better at scientific journalism than in research. His close friend Georg Kreisel, a distinguished mathematical logician, pronounced dryly on his scientific aspirations, "I've known a lot of people more stupid than you who've made a success of it!" "Encouraged by his advice," Crick remembered later, "my next problem was to decide what subject to choose." Even then he was fascinated by neurobiology and molecular biology. His decision to begin with molecular biology was purely based on his scientific background: at the time (1947), Crick was over 30 and knew no biology and practically no organic chemistry or crystallography.
