I'm sort of disappointed that I did not get to make use of my next clue, about the theory that Vitamin C helps prevent colds.
Had to be sure my post above made it into the forum. Linus Pauling was the correct answer to the two prizes received alone in unrelated fields. The other two time winners were J. Bardeen (twice for physics;both shared) and F. Sanger (twice for chemistry; one solo and one shared).

For explanation of the photo-electric effect yes. His only Nobel prize.


So Issybird is up to provide another test of knowledge.
