Krebs, Sir Hans Adolf

Krebs, Sir Hans Adolf (1900-1981) German/British Biochemist Sir Hans Adolf Krebs was born at Hildesheim, Germany, on August 25, 1900, to Georg Krebs, M.D., an ear, nose, and throat surgeon of that city, and his wife Alma (nee Davidson). 

Krebs, Sir Hans Adolf (1900-81) German-born British biochemist, who emigrated to Britain in 1933, working at Sheffield University before moving to Oxford in 1954. Krebs is best known for the Krebs cycle, the basis of which he discovered in 1937. Details were later added by Fritz Lipmann (1899-1986), with whom Krebs shared the 1953 Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine.

Krebs, (Sir) Hans Adolf (1900-81) German-born British biochemist renowned for his work on metabolism and, in particular, for the discovery of the cyclic metabolic pathways named after him. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine in 1953 for his discovery of the TCA cycle. The prize was shared with F. A. Lipmann. 

Sir Hans Adolf Krebs (1900-1981) was born in Hildesheim, Germany, and received an M.D. in 1925 from the University of Hamburg. In 1933 he moved to England, first at the University of Cambridge, then at the University of Sheffield (1935-1954), and finally at the University of Oxford (1954-1967). He received the 1953 Nobel Prize in medicine for his work on elucidating pathways in intermediary metabolism. 

Krebs cycle A biochemical cycle in the second stage of cellular respiration involving eight steps that complete the metabolic breakdown of glucose molecules to carbon dioxide. Acetyl CoA is combined with oxaloac-etate to form citric acid. Citric acid is then converted into a number of other chemicals, and carbon dioxide is released. The process takes place within the mitochondrion. Also called citric acid cycle or tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Conceived and published by British scientist Sir Hans Adolf Krebs in 1957. 

After Sir Hans Adolf Krebs (Nobel Prize, 1953, for his discovery of the citric acid cycle ) who identified and studied the cycle. See Krebs, H. A. Perspect. Biol. Med., 1970,74,154.
