How
I think it was Chargaff's Ratio, X ray crystallography and electron microscopy
That's because of his rule, "The adenine was always connected to thymine and guanine was always connected to cytosine."

DNA
The molecuar structure of DNA
Chargaff discovered that in DNA the percentages of adenine and thymine were the same, and the percentages of cytosine and guanine are the same. This led to the idea of base-pairing between adenine and thymine, and cytosine and guanine.
Chargaff made an observation about DNA that was very important in the determination of its structure. He noticed that the amount of adenine always equaled the amount of the thymine, and the amount of cytosine always equaled the amount of guanine. This principle is known as chargaffs rule, and it helped Watson and crick eventually realize that A paired with T and C paired with G.

Chargaff has Chargaff's rule named after him. That is that the number of A=T and the number of G=C in DNA.Franklin discovered the diffraction patterns of DNA. Watson and Crick put it all together, surmising that DNA is a double helix, with about 10 nucleotide base pairs per turn, and a major gap and a minor gap. They made a wire model.
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.
James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA and it's significance in the transfer of information in living organisms. Hope I helped. :)
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.
Three events that led to understanding the structure of DNA are: Chargaff's Rules, Franklin's Discovery, and Watson and Crick's Model.
Watson and Crick discovered chromosomes
They applied the clues provided by Chargaff's rules and Franklin's X-ray diffraction studies. Using brass and wire models of the bases, sugars, and phosphate groups, Watson and Crick deduced that the structure of the DNA molecule is a double helix.
That's because of his rule, "The adenine was always connected to thymine and guanine was always connected to cytosine."
