William Paul

William Paul (1883–1959) was an American biochemist known for his pioneering research on amino acids and protein nutrition. He made significant contributions to understanding how our bodies process and utilize amino acids—the building blocks of proteins—helping improve dietary protein sources and nutrition science. His work laid the foundation for modern nutritional science, influencing dietary recommendations and food formulation practices. Paul’s research also advanced knowledge about enzymatic functions related to protein metabolism, making him a key figure in biochemistry and human nutrition.
