People connected to Eduard Buchner
Eduard Buchner proved that living yeast cells weren't necessary for fermentation — the enzymes alone would do the job. That 1907 Nobel redrew the line between chemistry and biology.
About
Born in Munich on 20 May 1860, Buchner trained as a chemist in an era when fermentation was thought to require intact, living organisms. His experiments isolated the enzymes that drive the process, demonstrating that biochemical reactions could proceed outside the cell — a conceptual break that opened modern biochemistry. The Nobel committee awarded him the prize in Chemistry in 1907 for that work. He died on 13 August 1917.
