Wilkins, Maurice (Hugh Frederick New Zealand-born British molecular biologist. In 1962 he shared the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine with Francis Crick and James Watson for his work on the molecular structure of nucleic acids, particularly DNA, using X-ray diffraction. Wilkins began his career as a physicist working on luminescence and phosphorescence, radar, and the separation of uranium isotopes, and worked in the USA during World War II on the development of the atomic bomb. After the war he turned his attention from nuclear physics to molecular biology, and studied the genetic effects of ultrasonic waves, nucleic acids, and viruses by using ultraviolet light. Wilkins was born in Pongaroa and studied in the UK at Cambridge. He became professor of biophysics at London 1970. Studying the X-ray diffraction pattern of DNA, he discovered that the molecule has a double helical structure and passed on his findings to Crick and Watson.

In the early 1950s Wilkins successfully extracted some fibers from a gel of DNA, and began photographing them using X-ray diffraction, but his best sample was passed to another researcher, Rosalind Franklin. On the basis of X-ray photographs prepared by her laboratory that appeared to show a helical molecular structure and from other scientific information, F. H. C. Crick and J. D. Watson built a model of the DNA molecule and explained its function. For their work the three men shared the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. See his autobiography (2003).

Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help Wilkins, Maurice (Hugh Frederick) (b. Dec. 15, 1916, Pongaroa, N.Z.), New Zealand- born British biophysicist whose X -ray diffraction studies of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) proved crucial to the determination of DNA's molecular structure by James Watson and Sir Francis Crick. For this work the three scientists were jointly awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. Wilkins, the son of a physician (who was originally from Dublin), was educated at King Edward's School, Birmingham, Eng., and St. John's College, Cambridge. His doctoral thesis, completed for Birmingham University in 1940, contained his original formulation of the electron-trap theory of phosphorescence and thermoluminescence. He participated for two years during World War II in the Manhattan Project at the University of California, Berkeley, working on mass spectrograph separation of uranium isotopes for use in the atomic bomb. Upon his return to Great Britain, Wilkins lectured at St. Andrews University, Scotland. In 1946 he joined the Medical Research Council's Biophysics Unit at King's College, London; in 1955 he became its deputy director. From 1970 to 1980 he served as the unit's director. There he began the series of investigations that led ultimately to his X-ray diffraction studies of DNA. He later applied X-ray diffraction techniques to the study of ribonucleic acid. At King's College proper, Wilkins was professor of molecular biology, 1963-70; of biophysics, 1970-81; and emeritus professor, thereafter. While there he published literature on light microscopy techniques for cytochemical research.
