Vincent du Vigneaud war ein US-amerikanischer Biochemiker. Er isolierte, analysierte und synthetisierte die Hypophysen-Hinterlappenhormone Oxytocin und Vasopressin und erhielt im Jahre 1955 den Nobelpreis für Chemie für seine Arbeiten über die biochemisch bedeutsamen Schwefelverbindungen, insbesondere für die erste Synthese eines ...
Vincent du Vigneaud (May 18, 1901 – December 11, 1978) was an American biochemist. He was recipient of the 1955 Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for his work on biochemically important sulphur compounds, especially for the first synthesis of a polypeptide hormone," [1] a reference to his work on the peptide hormone oxytocin .

In 1955, Vincent du Vigneaud (1901-1978), the chairman of the Department of Biochemistry at Cornell University Medical College, was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his research on insulin and for the first synthesis of the posterior pituitary hormones-oxytocin and vasopressin.
Du Vigneaud is best known for determining the structures of and synthesizing oxytocin and vasopressin, for which he received the 1955 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Oxytocin is a cyclic octapeptide containing a disulfide bond.
