Frederick Sanger was born in Rendcombe, Gloucestershire, England, on August 3, 1918.
This was a slow process, requiring Sanger to examine the stains left by the amino acids after they were strained through paper filters, but the technique resulted in the eventual identification of all amino acid groups in the insulin molecule.
Sanger's next objective was to determine the sequence of the amino acids present in insulin, but this work was made more difficult by the fact that the insulin molecule actually consists of two separate chains of amino acids joined to each other at two points by sulfur-sulfur bonds.

The work that won Sanger his second Nobel Prize also led to his development of the Sanger Sequencing Method which is the major DNA decoding technique used in the International Human Genome Project, which has major health and antiaging implications.
Sanger's research facilitated further advances in the field of biochemistry by British biochemists John Kendrew and Max Perutz, who in 1960 were able to prepare three-dimensional models of protein molecules.

 Frederick Sanger - Wikipedia
Sangers Sequenzierungsmethode wurde später durch den von dem schwedischen Biochemiker Pehr Edman entwickelten Phenylisothiocyanat-Abbau verdrängt.
Obwohl Sanger, bevor er zum LMB kam, kein besonderes Interesse an Nukleinsäuren hatte, erkannte er durch die Diskussion mit Wissenschaftlern wie Francis Crick oder Sydney Brenner, dass er Nukleinsäuren besser nicht ignorieren sollte und dass eine Notwendigkeit besteht, die Sequenz der Nukleinbasen zu bestimmen.
Somit widmete sich Sanger in den folgenden Jahren der Entwicklung einer Sequenzierungsmethode für dieses andere Biopolymer.
