Phoebus Aaron Theodore Levene (1869 - 1940) did pioneering work on nucleoproteins and nucleic acids. He showed there were two principal types of nucleic acids in cells (RNA and DNA), identified the four nucleotides from yeast RNA, and demonstrated that the nucleic acids are long polymers of four nucleotides. His "tetranucleotide hypothesis", that DNA was made up of equal repeating units of its four nucleotides, reinforced the early idea that DNA was too simple to carry genetic information. Unfortunately, Levene died four years before Oswald Avery demonstrated that RNA and DNA were important in transmission of hereditary information (DSB Vol 8, 275-276.)
