Sanger, Frederick (1918–)
British biochemist awarded the 1958 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work
on proteins, particularly for first determing
the complete structure of a protein, that of bovine insulin.
In 1980 he became the fourth person to receive two Nobel prizes when he
was awarded the Chemistry one jointly with Berg and Gilbert for their work
on the chemistry of nucleic acids.
Sanger's contribution was to refine the techniques for determining the structure
of more complex proteins.
