	BookRags: Vincent du Vigneaud Biography
		Vincent du Vigneaud, an American biochemist, received the 1955 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his breakthrough achievement of synthesizing oxytocin--a hormone released by the posterior pituitary gland used to induce labor and lactation in pregnant women, and for his work with sulfur.
		Throughout his career, du Vigneaud was recognized for isolating and synthesizing penicillin and the hormone vasopressin, which is used to suppress urine flow, identifying the chemical composition of insulin, discovering the structure of vitamin H, otherwise known as biotin, and his pioneering work with methyl groups.
		Du Vigneaud's investigations, which were inspired by a lecture given by renowned biochemist W. Rose at the University of Illinois, sparked a lifelong interest in the range of sulfur compounds, but especially the sulfur-containing amino acids methionine, homocystine, cystine, cysteine, and cystathionine.
