The Dependence Between the Properties of the Atomic Weights of the Elements
- Dmitri Mendeleev
- Zeitscrift für Chemie 12, 405-406 (1869)
- Online version (http://webserver.lemoyne.edu/faculty/giunta/EA/MENDELEEVann.HTML)
Description: In this paper the Periodic Table was introduced. Notice that the table in the above link is the original one. Since then the table structure was slightly changed and new elements were added to it.

A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid
- Watson and Crick
- Nature 171, 737-738 (1953) © Macmillan Publishers Ltd.
- Online version (http://www.nature.com/genomics/human/watson-crick/)
Description: In this paper the structure of DNA was proposed. It consisted of a double helix with a phosphate backbone, unlike Linus Pauling and R.B. Corey's double helix where the backbone consisted of the bases. They conclude with the sly remark: "It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material."
