Wikipedia, 2022-12-15
Information trouvée : Arthur Harden shared the 1929 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his studies of sugar fermentation
by filtered yeast extracts. His many years of biochemical research at the British
Institute of Preventative Medicine, later named the Lister Institute, established
the various stages in the conversion of sugars to alcohol, the enzymes involved and
the importance of phosphorus compounds in these processes.Born in Manchester, Harden
studied chemistry with Henry Roscoe at Owens College, the forerunner of The University
of Manchester. He worked here as a lecturer for nine years, studying the chemical
actions of light and the historical manuscripts of John Dalton. In London, from 1897,
he worked as one of Britain’s first full-time researchers.
