other researchers whose results have prepared the terrain for this
discovery accepted as the greatest in biology of the XX century: the first
X-ray studies on nucleic acids (Astbury, Bell, 1938; Astbury, 1947); the
Pauling and co-authors models of the helical configuration of the
polypeptide chains and nucleic acids (Pauling, Corey, 1951 a\u2014c, 1953;
Pauling et al., 1951 d); the X-ray studies of Wilkins at al. (1953 a, b) on
the spatial structure of DNA; the famous X-ray diagram of Rosalind
Franklin and Gosling (1953) \u2014 Fig. 2\u201340 that has experimentally proved
