Sanger, Frederick. Born 13 Aug 1918.
In 1953, the biochemist Fredrick Sanger showed for the first time that a protein has a precisely defined amino acid sequence consisting of L-amino acids held by peptide bonds between amino groups and carboxyl groups. He was awarded the Nobel prize in 1959 for working out of amino acid sequence of Bovine insulin: this task took him 10 years.
In 1977, Sanger perfected a rapid sequencing method for DNA. He was awarded another Nobel Prize for this work in 1980, that he shared with Gilbert .
He wrote : If the planned experiment doesn't work, don't worry, start planning the next experiment.
