 Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1939 - Presentation Speech
Butenandt made the first big step forward in clarifying the chemistry of the follicle hormone in 1929 in Göttingen, simultaneously with Doisy in the United States.
In 1932, Butenandt was able, from observations made in spectral analysis, and especially on the basis of the then established correct formula of cholesterol to draw up the formulae of the chemical structure of oestrone and oestriol.
Butenandt was the first to tackle this problem, and it was only possible to work on it after biological research had found a quantitative test for the determination of these substances - the so-called capon comb test.
