Although Maurice Wilkins was not inclined towards model building, and even though Rosalind Franklin was adamantly opposed to this process until one was certain of the specifics of a structure, at least one person at King's decided to give it a go. R. B. D. (Bruce) Fraser, a Ph.D. candidate, had discussed Rosalind's DNA work with her and was curious to fashion a model based upon what had been discovered thus far. This, and suppositions as to what might be found, resulted in an elementary structure which correctly predicted the helical shape, the stacked bases, and the phosphates on the outside. It also predicted 3 chains, a property that both Maurice and Rosalind were convinced was correct. This was the same mistake Linus Pauling was to make a year later.
