BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962 was awarded to James Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins for their discovery of the molecular structure of DNA, which helped solve one of the most important of all biological riddles.

Detailed explanation-2: -The 1962 Nobel Prizes were delivered on 10 December 1962, in a glittering ceremony at the Stockholm Concert Hall, to four British scientists, an American professor and an American novelist.

Detailed explanation-3: -In Watson and Crick’s model, the two strands of the DNA double helix are held together by hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases on opposite strands. Each pair of bases lies flat, forming a “rung” on the ladder of the DNA molecule. Base pairs aren’t made up of just any combination of bases.
