Sir Hans Krebs (1981) - The Evolution of the Citric Acid Cycle and Other Metabolic Pathways

Sir Hans Adolf Krebs was a German biochemist and a true specialist for elucidating cyclic metabolic pathways, i.e. cyclic series of chemical reactions in a cell. He is credited with the discovery of three such pathways, the ornithine cycle, the glyoxylate cycle and – most importantly – the citric acid or Krebs cycle
