How did Rosalind Franklin discover the helical structure of DNA? The X-Ray Diffraction JavaScript Model computes diffraction patterns from first principles for simple apertures including a sinusoidal wave corresponding to a 2D projection of a helix as described in a paper by Braun, Tierney and Schmitzer.
"How Rosalind Franklin Discovered the Helical Structure of DNA: Experiments in Diffraction," Gregory Braun, Dennis Tierney and Heidrun Schmitzer, The Physics Teacher, vol 49.3, 140-143 (2011).
The X-Ray Diffraction JavaScript Model was developed using the Easy Java Simulations (EJS) version 5. This beta release is distributed as a ready-to-run html page and requires only a browser with JavaScript support.
