The importance of insulin made it the focus of Frederick Sanger s work in structural chemistry. Sanger applied chemist Emil Fisher s philosophy, using chemical principles to explicate protein structure and function. Sanger eventually established the order of amino acids that made up insulin, the first protein for which the amino acid sequence was determined. Knowing the sequence enabled comparison between insulins from different species, and discovery of the slight differences between them.
