Martin's interest in biochemistry was sparked by his professor at Cambridge. There he dealt with the isolation of vitamin E and the effects of vitamin E deficiency. For this purpose he developed methods for extraction and chromatography . The partition developed Martin while he was on the isolation of amino acids worked. He later researched vitamin B2 and a deficiency in it. In addition to many other awards, Martin and Richard LM Synge received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1952 for their invention of partition chromatography.
