Eduard Buchner

1860–1917

Eduard Buchner (1860–1917) was a German chemist and Nobel laureate who revolutionized biochemistry by demonstrating that fermentation could occur in cell-free extracts, disproving the vitalist theory that a 'life force' was necessary. His discovery of zymase, an enzyme complex in yeast, laid the foundation for modern enzymology and biochemistry. He died in World War I from shrapnel wounds.
