Biography

Frederick SangerOMCHCBEFRSFAA(/ˈsæŋər/; 13 August 1918 – 19 November 2013) was a Britishbiochemistwho received theNobel Prize in Chemistrytwice. He won the 1958 Chemistry Prize for determining theamino acidsequence ofinsulinand numerous other proteins, demonstrating in the process that each had a unique, definite structure; this was a foundational discovery for thecentral dogma of molecular biology. At the newly constructedLaboratory of Molecular Biologyin Cambridge, he developed and subsequently refined thefirst-ever DNA sequencing technique, which vastly expanded the number of feasible experiments in molecular biology and remains in widespread use today. The breakthrough earned him the 1980 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, which he shared withWalter GilbertandPaul Berg. Fields: Biochemistry Education: St John's College, Cambridge BA PhD

简介： 诺贝尔化学奖| (1958) | 1918-2013

弗雷德里克·桑格OMCHCBEFRSFAA（/ˈsæŋər/；1918年8月13日－2013年11月19日）是一位英国生物化学家，两次获得诺贝尔化学奖。他因确定胰岛素和许多其他蛋白质的氨基酸序列而获得 1958 年化学奖，并在此过程中证明每种蛋白质都具有独特的、明确的结构；这是分子生物学中心法则的基础性发现。在剑桥新建的分子生物学实验室，他开发并随后完善了有史以来第一个 DNA 测序技术，该技术极大地扩展了分子生物学中可行实验的数量，并至今仍被广泛使用。这一突破为他赢得了 1980 年诺贝尔化学奖，并与沃尔特·吉尔伯特和保罗·伯格分享。领域： 生物化学 教育： 剑桥圣约翰学院 学士 博士
