Austrian chemist Erwin Chargaff's research.
James Watson and Francis Crick are credited with the base pairing rules and DNA structure in general. Erwin Chargaff is credited with the rules of base pairs in that the number of pyrimidines is equal to the number of purines.

Watson and Crick came up with the base-pairing rule for nucleic acids using Chargaff's rule that in DNA the percentages of adenine and thymine are equal, and the percentages of guanine and cytosine are equal. Refer to the related link below.

No, Erwin Chargaff did not win a Nobel Prize. He was an Austrian biochemist who is best known for his research on the composition of DNA, where he discovered the base pair rules known as Chargaff's rules.

In 1950, Erwin Chargaff analysed the base composition of DNA composition in a number of organisms. He reported that DNA composition varies from one species to another so allowing for the ascertaining of differential.
