X-ray crystallography was used to determine the structure of DNA. In 1953, Rosalind Franklin obtained X-ray diffraction images of DNA which showed it had a regular structure with the phosphate and sugar groups on the outside and the bases on the inside. James Watson and Francis Crick were able to use Franklin's data to propose their famous double helix model of DNA structure.
