Zur Kenntnis des Vitamins-A aus Fischtranen.

KARRER, Paul (1889 – 1971)
KARRER, Paul (1889 – 1971) MORF, R. SCHÖPP, K.

In 1930 Karrer established the correct formula for carotene (the chief precursor of vitamin A), the first demonstration of the chemical structure of a vitamin. Shortly thereafter, he was able to determine the formula …

Synthesis of ascorbic acid.

HAWORTH, Sir Walter Norman (1883 – 1950) HIRST, Sir Edmund Langley (1898 – 1975)

Haworth and Hirst successfully synthesized vitamin C in the laboratory. This was the first vitamin to be artificially produced. Their breakthrough made it possible for vitamin C, or ascorbic acid as Haworth called it,…

CALVIN, Melvin Ellis (1911 – 1997)
CALVIN, Melvin Ellis (1911 – 1997) BASSHAM, James Alan (1922 – 2012)

Discovery of the Calvin cycle, also known as the Calvin–Benson–Bassham (CBB) cycle, or reductive pentose phosphate cycle or C3 cycle — a series of biochemical redox reactions that take place in the stroma of chloropla…

MICHEL, Hartmut (1948 – )
MICHEL, Hartmut (1948 – )
HUBER, Robert (1937 – )
HUBER, Robert (1937 – ) & et al.

Discovery of the three-dimensional structure of a protein complex found in certain photosynthetic bacteria, called the photosynthetic reaction center. This was the first elucidation of the 3D crystal structure of any …
