- Albert Szent-Gyorgyi (1893-1986) was a preeminent biochemist of his time. His work contributed to the understanding of how muscles work and how the ATP molecule provides energy to fuel a cell’s metabolism. He won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering Vitamin C. In an interview with the BBC in 1965, Szent –Gyorgyi offered the following about his work: I started with anatomy, but then shifted to function and physiology studying rabbits. But then I found rabbits too complicated and shifted to bacteriology, hoping to find the secrets of life in those very small, tiny creatures. But later I found bacteria too complicated and shifted to molecules and began to study chemistry—a few years later after the war I was even condemned to be the Professor of Chemistry and taught chemistry for many years! About 15 years ago I found molecules too complex and then I shifted to electrons and quantum mechanics—the behavior of electrons.
