English biochemist and molecular biologist Frederick Sanger won the Nobel Prize in chemistry twice, the first time in 1958 and again in 1980. The 1958 award was given for his work on the structure of the insulin molecule and the 1980 award for determining the base sequence of nucleic acids. Sanger shared the 1980 prize with Paul Berg (1926- ) and Walter Gilbert (1932- ). Berg performed fundamental studies of the biochemistry of nucleic acids, particularly recombinant DNA, and Gilbert determined the sequence of bases in DNA by a method applicable to single- and doublestranded DNA. Sanger's work...
