The Albert Szent-Gyorgyi Papers Added to Profiles in Science®June 29, 2005 [posted]
The papers of biochemist and Nobel Laureate Albert Szent-Gyorgyi are the most recent collection added to the NLM Profiles in Science Web site, dedicated to the lives and works of prominent 20th century biomedical scientists. The online exhibit features oral histories, published articles, lectures, documentaries, and photographs from the Szent-Gyorgyi papers. Visitors to the site can view, for example, many of Szent-Gyorgyi's publications as well as photos of him and his lab staff working and playing. An introductory exhibit section places Szent-Gyorgyi's achievements in historical context. Szent-Gyorgyi's scientific career spanned 73 years, at least four countries, and topics ranging from anatomy to quantum biology. He won a Nobel Prize for isolating vitamin C, and his research on biological oxidation provided the basis for Krebs' citric acid cycle (which transforms food energy into energy for life processes). He unraveled the biochemical processes that make muscles move, and was one of the first to explore the connections between free radicals and cancer. The collection can be accessed from the Profiles in Science homepage Profiles in Science.
