Conclusion: Big helix in several chains, phosphates on outside, phosphate-phosphate inter-helical bonds disrupted by water. Phosphate links available to proteins.
Lecture Notes of Franklin. Headed 'Colloquium November 1951', the report is typewritten dated 7 Feb 1952, in A. Sayre, Rosalind Franklin and DNA (1975), 128.
The results suggest a helical structure (which must be very closely packed) containing probably 2, 3 or 4 coaxial nucleic acid chains per helical unit and having the phosphate groups near the outside.
Official Report, submitted in Feb 1952. In A. Klug, 'Rosalind Franklin and the Discovery of the Structure of DNA', Nature 1968, 219, 843.
