Erwin Chargaff was an Austrian-Hungarian biochemist who emigrated to the United States and became a professor at Columbia University's medical school. He is best known for his critical contributions to the understanding of DNA structure. Chargaff discovered two key rules regarding nucleotide composition: first, that the amount of guanine equals cytosine and the amount of adenine equals thymine in DNA, suggesting a base pairing structure. Secondly, he noted that the relative amounts of these bases vary among different species, implying that DNA, rather than proteins, could be the genetic material.
