Frederick Sanger, “Determination of Nucleotide Sequences in DNA”, NOBEL PRIZE LECTURE, 8 December 1980.

David Deamer & Daniel Branton, “Characterization of Nucleic Acids by Nanopore Analysis”, Accounts of Chemical Research, year 2002, volume 35, pages 817-825 was the topic of an earlier blog post.

Here I present: Frederick Sanger, “Determination of Nucleotide Sequences in DNA”, NOBEL PRIZE LECTURE, 8 December 1980.  

Frederick Sanger (1918-2013) received the Nobel Prize in 1958 for sequencing Insulin.
This was the first protein ever sequenced.

Now in 1980, Frederick Sanger (1918-2013), received  the 1980 Nobel Prize for sequencing DNA. This was also another first ever for, that Frederick Sanger (1918-2013) achieved.

This winning of two Chemistry Nobel Prizes puts Frederick Sanger (1918-2013) in a class by himself.

SUMMARY.
Insulin is a protein that is located on human chromosome [#11] eleven (shown ABOVE ).

The cube ABOVE is the “genetic code”, and it is fundamental to molecular biology.  Frederick Sanger’s methodology is less important; but, Sanger’s pioneering Insulin protein and Insulin DNA gene studies are historic.
