Sven Verner Furberg was a renowned Norwegian chemist, biologist, and crystallographer born on April 16, 1920. He is noted for proposing a single-chain helical structure for DNA, which he described as a 'zig-zag' chain in 1949. His groundbreaking work on the structure of DNA was published in 1952 in the journal Acta Chemica Scandinavica. Furberg's research indicated that DNA forms a helical shape based on the crystal structure and density of nucleosides. His findings were later cited by prominent scientists Watson and Crick in their 1953 paper on nucleic acids.
