	Walter Haworth Summary
		Haworth was married to Violet Chilton Dobbie in 1922.
		Walter Haworth's earliest research was influenced by his contact with William Perkin at the University of Manchester and involved a study of terpenes, a class of hydrocarbons often found in plants.
		In 1912 Haworth became a lecturer at United College of St Andrews University in Scotland and became interested in carbohydrate chemistry, which was being investigated at St Andrews by Thomas Purdie (1843-1916) and James Irvine (1877-1952).

	Sandwalk: Nobel Laureate: Walter Norman Haworth
		"for his investigations on carbohydrates and vitamin C" Sir Norman Haworth won the Nobel Prize in 1937 for his work on the three-dimensional structure of carbohydrates in general and the structure of vitamin C in particular.
		Such a formula for vitamin C has been proposed by Haworth and Hirst, as well as by von Euler and has been subsequently proved to be correct by Haworth.
		It's probably safe to say that the failure to appreciate Haworth's 1937 Nobel Prize is responsible for lowering the average grade of biochemistry students all over the world by 3-5%.

		Haworth was born in Chorley, Lancashire, and studied at Manchester and Göttingen, Germany.
		The linkages in the ring structure of carbon atoms in hexoses are now known as Haworth formulas because of his work.
		Work on sugars led naturally to vitamin C. In the late 1930s, Haworth studied the reactions of polysaccharides with enzymes and certain aspects of the chemistry of the hormone insulin.

		1933 (Walter) Norman Haworth, English organic chemist who was the first to synthesize a vitamin (ascorbic acid, vitamin C) in 1933, for which he shared a Nobel prize 1937.
		His expeditions have included the first descent and exploration of the Blue Nile 1968; the journey N to S from Alaska to Cape Horn, crossing the Darien Gap between Panama and Colombia for the first time 1971-72; and the first complete navigation of the Congo-Zaïre River, Africa 1974-75.
		His first surface crossing by dog sledge of the Arctic Ocean 1968-69, from Alaska to Spitsbergen via the North Pole, was the longest sustained sledging journey (6,000 km/3,800 mi) in polar exploration.
