  Sanger, Fred Biography | gen_04_package.xml
After this success, in 1961 Sanger moved to the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, where he became head of the division of protein chemistry.
In 1977 Sanger developed a sequencing method, called the "dideoxy" method, with which he determined the entire sequence of a bacterial virus called phi-X174.
Sanger's original sequence contained only 5,375 nucleotides, but his technology is now being used to determine sequences that are millions of nucleotides longer, including, importantly, the human genome.

But with the capacity to read only a few hundred bases per reaction, it is far too slow and expensive for routine use in clinical settings.
DNA polymerization proceeds 5' to 3'; new nucleotides are incorporated by joining the alpha phosphate group of the new base with the 3'-hydroxyl moiety of the chain.
But Sanger's method employs specially modified bases --2',3'-dideoxynucleoside-5'-triphosphates--that replace the 3'-hydroxyl with a nonreactive hydrogen, thereby terminating chain extension.

The other major players at the molecular level are proteins—structures that are made of amino acids and that govern cell function.
In the 1950s, chemist Fred Sanger figured out how to determine the order of amino acids in a given protein.
That proteins consist of linear arrays of twenty amino acids and genes consist of linear arrays of four nucleic acids, or bases (DNA), could mean only one thing.

The invigorating atmosphere, said Thomas Steitz, extended to the canteen, where seating was limited and postdocs shared tables with Crick or Max F. Perutz, Ph.D., a 1962 Nobel laureate, Frederick Sanger, Ph.D., who won two Nobel Prizes, or Sydney Brenner, Ph.D., a 2002 Nobel laureate.
The scientists, fellows and postdocs there, he said, were encouraged to continue that tradition of discovery and tackle the most challenging problems.
