    The History of DNA, Part 1

    Ever wonder how we discovered DNA? This week on The Macrowave, we begin with the story with Friedrich Miescher, a 19th-century scientist who dared to explore the chemical composition of cells using... pus-soaked bandages! Learn how Miescher's work in isolating "nuclein" from cell nuclei, a substance rich in phosphorus, laid the foundation for future DNA research. Part one of our series explores the obstacles and misinterpretations Miescher faced, and how his pioneering work shaped the field of biochemistry. Resources (click!): - Miescher's Original Paper - Discovery of DNA Structure and Function: Watson and Crick - Video lecture by Gareth Williams on the Discovery of DNA This is a public episode.
