Watson accepted the Hershey-Chase experiment as proof that DNA was the genetic material. However, because the structure of DNA was still unknown, it was impossible to understand how genes acted. ... Despite the obvious elegance of the Watson-Crick DNA model, the X-ray evidence previously published was insufficient for...
