Hershey and Chase conducted experiments in the 1950s where they labeled bacteriophages with radioactive isotopes of phosphorus and sulfur to determine whether DNA or protein was the genetic material being transferred during infection. They found that the radioactive phosphorus was present within the bacterial cells, indicating that DNA was indeed the genetic material being transferred. Watson and Crick later famously discovered the structure of DNA, and Franklin contributed to the understanding of the physical properties of DNA through X-ray crystallography.
