A.J.P. Martin & R.L.M. Synge
Synge attended the university of Winchester and Martin that one of Bedford. All and two attended the university of Cambridge subsequently where Martin was graduated in 1932.Synge obtained his Ph.D. degree at Cambridge in 1941. After the bachelor they worked inside the Wool Industries Research Association at Leeds; in the next years they were taken care of other searches, many of these based on the chromatography. In the 1945 they will receive the Nobel prize for their demonstration on the chromatography. In the 1950 they begun honorary members of the Royal Society. Synge was married with Ann Stephen in 1943 and had 4 daughters and 3 sons; Martin was married in the same year with Jyudith Bagenal and had 1 son and 3 daughters. Martin died in the 2002 and Synge in 1994. During the period in which it has worked to Cambridge Martin was occupied on the isolation of the vitamin E. With L.T. James he invented the gaseous chromatography in 1953, this invention has allowed unexpected fast analyses of composed, liquid and gaseous mixture, Then he worked on thin layer chromatography in 1956. In the 1945 Synge was interested about the molecular problems, like antibiotics, of proteins (these are formed from long atom chains of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen assembled in smaller molecules called amino acids. In their researches they used the chromatographic methods in order to separate and to characterize amino acids *. The main goal is that to find a automatic method in order to determine the number and the frequency of amino acids in the peptide chains of proteins. * AMINO ACIDS: small organic molecules that are produced, like the glucose, from the vegetal cells. The amino acids are 20.
