Franklin calculated the diameter of DNA, the distance between strands and bases, the angle of the helix, and the number of bases per coil

Franklin is best known for her work on the X-ray diffraction images of DNA while at King's College, London, which led to the discovery of the DNA double helix by James Watson and Francis Crick.
