Franklin
Chemist and X-ray
crystallographer Born 25 July 1920, Notting Hill, London. Died 16 April 1958, Chelsea, London.
Education
1945 PhD, University of Cambridge
Thesis: The physical chemistry of solid organic colloids with special reference to coal.
1938–1941 Natural Sciences Tripos, chemistry, Newnham College, Cambridge
Second-class honours. Cambridge began awarding degrees to women in 1947.
1931–1938 Matriculation, St Paul’s Girls’ School, Hammersmith, London
One of the few girls’ schools in London that taught physics and chemistry.
Experience
1953–1958 Research group leader, Birkbeck College, London
X-ray crystallography of the tobacco mosaic virus, an RNA virus: all its particles were shown
to have the same length (1955), its protein coat to be arranged in helices (1956), and its RNA
to be wound along the inner surface of the hollow virus (1956).
Work on the structure of the polio virus began in 1957. After her death the group, led by
Aaron Klug, found in 1959 that the virus has icosahedral symmetry.
1951–1953 Research associate, Medical Research Council Biophysics Unit, King’s College London
X-ray diffraction of DNA fibres with Raymond Gosling, in a camera chamber whose humidity
was controlled. DNA was found in two forms, A and B, with the phosphate groups on the
outside of a helical structure. Photo 51 was taken by Gosling in 1952.
The double-helix model of DNA by Watson and Crick, published in Nature on 25 April 1953,
was based on these data; the paper by Franklin and Gosling appeared in the same issue.
1947 Chercheur, Laboratoire Central des Services Chimiques de l’État, Paris
X-ray crystallography of coal and other carbons, and of their conversion to graphite, with Jacques
Mering. She introduced the terms graphitising and non-graphitising carbon.
1942 Assistant research officer, British Coal Utilisation Research Association, Kingston upon
Thames
The porosity of coal, measured with helium. Coals were classified by the order in which substances
were expelled as temperature rose, which predicted their performance as fuel and in gas masks.
Other work
1958 A five-foot model of the tobacco mosaic virus for the International Science Pavilion at
Expo 58, Brussels. The exhibition opened on 17 April, the day after her death.
