 * Here is a magazine from May 28th 1932, where writings by Virtanen about is methods are mentioned. At the top right part of the page, it says in italics (my translation)

 * Also, recieving the Nobel prize two years after publishing the data sounds incredible. Since I currently have no idea how to find the correct year, I remove the year mentioned for now. // Habj 02:46, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
