| Abstract | dc.description.abstract | Albert Szent-Gyorgyi was a Hungarian biochemist and physiologist. He identified the structure and
function of vitamin C, naming it as ascorbic acid. His research on cellular respiration and oxidation
provided the basis for Krebs' citric acid cycle. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1937. With his
collaborators, he discovered the biochemical basis of muscle contractility, isolating the basic
proteins, giving them the name myosin and actin. Later on, he worked on the theory of
carcinogenesis, linked to electron movements. He was one of the first researchers to describe the
connection between free radicals and cancer. He lived a long, very complete life, defending always
his opinion and freedom. | en_US |
