SIGNED BY FRITZ LIPMANN (on front wrapper, dated 1977, see photo). Offprint of Fritz Lipmann's Nobel Lecture, December 11, 1953. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1953 was divided equally between Hans Adolf Krebs "for his discovery of the citric acid cycle" and Fritz Albert Lipmann "for his discovery of co-enzyme A and its importance for intermediary metabolism." "In 1937 Hans Krebs presented a complete picture of an important part of metabolism--the citric acid cycle. In this process, which has several steps, nutrients are converted to other molecules with a large amount of chemical energy. An important piece of the process was still missing--a substance that along with a protein forms an enzyme that facilitates an important step. In 1946 the substance was discovered by Fritz Lipmann, who described the role it plays and gave it the name coenzyme A" (Nobel Prize website). Seller Inventory # 16415
