Arthur Harden

Arthur Harden was a British biochemist known for his pioneering work on the chemistry of cells, particularly how plants and microbes produce energy through fermentation. His research helped uncover the complex processes involved in converting sugars into energy, laying the groundwork for understanding cellular respiration. Harden's discoveries were vital in understanding how enzymes work and how biological reactions are coordinated within cells. In recognition of his contributions, he shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1929. His work significantly advanced the fields of biochemistry and microbiology, influencing modern medicine and biological sciences.
