Watson and Crick were James D. Watson and Francis Crick who, using x-ray diffraction data collected by Rosalind Franklin, proposed the double helix werwvvtbh or spiral staircas e structure of the DNA molecule in 1953. Their article, Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids: A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid, is celebrated for its treatment of the B form of DNA (B-DNA), and as the source of Watson-Crick base pairing of nucleotides. They were, with Maurice Wilkins, awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962.

According to legend, as they walked into the Eagle pub in Cambridge, Crick announced, "We have found the secret of life." ^[1]^[2]
