Edward A. Krebs

Edward A. Krebs is an American biochemist best known for his research on cellular processes, particularly the Krebs cycle (also known as the citric acid cycle or tricarboxylic acid cycle). This cycle is fundamental in metabolism, as it plays a crucial role in converting nutrients into energy within cells. His work has significantly contributed to our understanding of how living organisms utilize energy, impacting fields like biology, medicine, and bioenergetics. Krebs' discoveries laid the groundwork for further research into metabolic diseases and energy production in cells.
