The Bridge June 2021 June 2021 THE BRIDGE News and Information for ISPE Chapter and Affiliate Women in Pharma® Leaders Welcome Leaders Welcome to the June 2021 issue of The Bridge, an ISPE Women in Pharma® (WIP) monthly newsletter developed to open the lines of communication among ISPE Chapter and Affiliate WIP leaders, to provide news of importance, share ideas and best practices, and ensure WIP leaders are kept informed of helpful information as well as updates in ISPE policies and procedures. A Message from ISPE WIP Kerren Bergman on Confidence If I asked you if you would describe yourself as confident, how would you answer?

    Physics Today - February 2003 Rosalind Franklin and the Double Helix Although she made essential contributions toward elucidating the structure of DNA, Rosalind Franklin is known to many only as seen through the distorting lens of James Watson's book, The Double Helix. by Lynne Osman Elkin - California State University, Hayward In 1962, James Watson, then at Harvard University, and Cambridge University's Francis Crick stood next to Maurice Wilkins from King's College, London, to receive the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their "discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material." Watson and Crick could not have proposed their celebrated structure for DNA as early in 1953 as they did without access to experimental results obtained by King's College scientist Rosalind Franklin. Franklin had died of cancer in 1958 at age 37, and so was ineligible to share the honor. Her conspicuous absence from the awards ceremony--the dramatic culmination of the struggle to determine the structure of DNA--probably contributed to the neglect, for several decades, of Franklin's role in the DNA story. She most likely never knew how significantly her data influenced Watson and Crick's proposal. Franklin was born 25 July 1920 to Muriel Waley Franklin and merchant banker Ellis Franklin, both members of educated and socially conscious Jewish families. They were a close immediate family, prone to lively discussion and vigorous debates at which the politically liberal, logical, and determined Rosalind excelled: She would even argue with her assertive, conservative father. Early in life, Rosalind manifested the creativity and drive characteristic of the Franklin women, and some of the Waley women, who were expected to focus their education, talents, and skills on political, educational, and charitable forms of community service.

D. Dina Proestou, Ph. D. Structure is a common theme in Rosalind Franklin’s research work. Her earliest research focused on the structure of coal, shifted focus to DNA, and then to RNA in the Tobacco Mosaic Virus. Based off of the physical and chemical makeup, Rosalind Franklin sought to understand the function of these molecules, and how they carried out processes such as reproduction or changes in configuration. She was intrigued by the existence of a deliberate order in life, a design that is specific in its purpose, and allows for efficient processes.

  • Chapter 19: the New Crystallography in France
    CHAPTER 19 The New Gystallography in France 19.1. THE PERIOD BEFORE AUGUST 1914 At the time of Laue’s discovery, research in crystallography was carried onin France principally in two laboratories, those of Georges Friedel and of Frederic Wallerant, at the School of Minesin St. etienne and at the Sorbonne in Paris, respectively. Jacques Curie, it is true, also investigated crystals in his laboratory and, together with his brother Pierre, discovered piezoelectricity which soon found extensive appli- cation in the measurement of radioactivity; but he had few students and formed no school. Among the research of Georges Friedel that on twinning is universally known and accepted, as are his studies of face development in relation to the lattice underlying the crystal structure. Frederic Wallerant’s best known work was on polymorphism and on crystalline texture. In 1912 both Friedel and Wallerant were deeply interested in the study of liquid crystals, a form of aggregation of matter only recently discovered by the physicist in Karlsruhe, 0. Lehmarm. Friedel’s co-worker was Franc;ois Grandjean, Wallerant’s Charles Mauguin. Laue, Friedrich and Knipping’s publication immedi- ately drew their attention, and Laue’s remark that the diagrams did not disclose the hemihedral symmetry of zincblende prompted Georges Friedel to clarify, 2 June 1913, the connection between the symmetries of the crystal and the diffraction pattern. If the passage of X-rays, like that of light, implies a centre of symmetry, i.e. if nothing dis- tinguishes propagation in a direction Al3 from that along BA, then X-ray diffraction cannot reveal the lack of centrosymmetry in a crystal, and a right-hand quartz produces the same pattern as a left- hand one.

  • Rosalind Franklin En Haar Foto Van DNA
    Rosalind Franklin en haar foto van DNA Rosalind Franklin en haar foto van DNA Het is vandaag precies 63 jaar geleden dat de kristallograaf Rosalind Franklin op 37-jarige leeftijd overleed. Ze was een pionier in het gebruik van röntgenstraling voor het bestuderen van de structuur van DNA, RNA en virussen. Hoe werkt dat, en wat maakt Franklin de onbezongen held van DNA? Bij de tandarts heb je misschien wel eens een röntgenfoto laten maken. Deze soort straling dringt namelijk makkelijk door onze huid en spieren heen, maar minder goed door onze botten. Natuurwetenschappers gebruiken röntgenstraling ook, maar met een ander doeleinde. De golflengte van de straling is namelijk van dezelfde orde van grootte als de typische afstand tussen atomen in een molecuul of kristal, waardoor röntgenstraling perfect is voor het bestuderen van hun atomaire structuur. Diffractie Het trucje dat we gebruiken voor het met röntgenstraling bestuderen van kristallen heet diffractie. Het vader-zoonpaar William Henry en William Lawrence Bragg ontdekte dat röntgenstraling, gereflecteerd vanaf kristallijne vaste stoffen, verrassende spikkel-patronen produceerde. Ze bedachten dat, wanneer een metaal is opgebouwd uit netjes gerangschikte atomen, inkomende stralen kunnen reflecteren van opeenvolgende lagen atomen en – afhankelijk van de hoek tussen de atoomlaag en het gereflecteerde licht – elkaar daarbij kunnen opheffen of juist versterken. Zo verwacht je pieken in het gereflecteerde diffractiepatroon wanneer het verschil in de weglengte van de twee stralen overeenkomt met een geheel veelvoud van de golflengte van het licht: alleen dan zijn twee gereflecteerde lichtgolven tegelijk op een piek en versterken ze elkaar. Hiermee bleken de experimenten een van de eerste bewijzen voor het feit dat atomen bestaan, en hun inzicht leverder de heren Bragg de Nobelprijs op in 1915, “voor hun verdiensten bij de analyse van kristalstructuur door middel van röntgenstralen”.
