Complementary base pairing, Erwin Chargaff
Description:
Interviewee: Erwin Chargaff.
Erwin Chargaff talks about his name for Chargaff's ratios.
(DNAi Location: Code > Finding the structure > Players > Erwin Chargaff > What Chargaff called the ratios)
Transcript:
Well you see the special thing is, there were the stupid name of the Chargaff Rules, I have never called them Chargaff Rules, but anyway that is the base pairing, I called it a complementary situation, I don't think I gave the name base pairing, I think that is one of the few things that Watson really did.
