Thanks to the great discoveries of the Nobel laureates of the first half of the 20th century – E. Buchner, A. Kossel, R. Willstätter, O. Meyerhof, A. Hill, O. Warburg, A. Szent-Györgyi, we have gained a deep understanding of the mechanisms of organic substances conversion and oxidation in living organisms. This article gives an analysis of the research activity of these distinguished scientists, who, through decoding the main ways of converting carbohydrates and energy in living organisms, laid the foundations of dynamic biochemistry and bioenergetics (one of the branches of biochemical science).
