Erwin Chargaff is best known for formulating Chargaff's rules, which state that in DNA, the amount of adenine equals thymine, and the amount of cytosine equals guanine. This discovery was crucial in understanding the base pairing mechanisms of DNA. Additionally, he contributed to the understanding of the biochemical composition of nucleic acids and played a significant role in the development of molecular Biology. His work laid important groundwork for the later discovery of the DNA double helix structure by Watson and Crick.
