Adolf Krebs

Adolf Krebs was a scientist known for his discovery of the pancreatic enzyme amylase, which helps break down starch into sugars during digestion. His work advanced understanding of how enzymes function in the human body, playing a key role in nutrient absorption. Krebs's research contributed to biochemistry and medicine by illuminating the processes behind digestion, helping diagnose and treat digestive disorders. His contributions are foundational in the study of enzymology, the science of enzymes, which are vital for many biological reactions essential to life.
