In 1962, three scientists who contributed to the discovery of the structure of the DNA molecule were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. The fourth scientist who contributed to this discovery, Rosalind Franklin, was not awarded the prize, as she had died before this honor could be bestowed. What was her major contribution to this discovery?

Neelaredoxin is a 15-kda protein that is a gene product common in anaerobic prokaryotes. it has superoxide-scavenging activity, and it is constitutively expressed. in addition, its expression is not further induced during its exposure to o2 or h2o2 (silva, g., et al. 2001. j. bacteriol. 183: 4413–4420). which of the following statements best describes neelaredoxin synthesis? a-neelaredoxin is produced at all times; levels are constant even when exposed to o2 or h2o2.b-neelaredoxin is produced at all times; exposure to o2 or h2o2 increases expression. c-neelaredoxin is produced at all times; exposure to o2 or h2o2 decreases or prevents expression. d-neelaredoxin is only produced when there is exposure to o2 or h2o2.
