Krebs and Johnson connected metabolic reactions into a cycle explaining how carbon compounds are oxidized in animal tissues.

What is recorded here?

Krebs and Johnson connected metabolic reactions into a cycle explaining how carbon compounds are oxidized in animal tissues.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

This source is Krebs’s later lecture identifying the 1937 work, not a fresh review of every original experiment. Other researchers established component reactions. The broader discovery and precursor roster remains incomplete.

Read the original work

This English explanation is an editorial reading view. It does not replace the complete original work or certify its science.
