Among his many publications is the remarkable survey of energy transformations in living matter, published in 1957, in collaboration with H. L. Kornberg, which discusses the complex chemical processes which provide living organisms with high-energy phosphate by way of what is known as the Krebs or citric acid cycle.
Sir Hans Adolf Krebs was a German-born British biochemist who received (with Fritz Lipmann) the 1953 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for the discovery in living organisms of the series of chemical reactions known as the tricarboxylic acid cycle (also called the citric acid cycle, or Krebs.

Prior to Krebs discovery, experiments by T. Thunberg and F. Batelli and L.S. Stern revealed that minced animal tissues contained substances that could transfer hydrogen atoms from specific intracellular organic acids (including succinate, malate, and citrate) to methylene blue dye, reducing it to a colorless form.
Hans Krebs was born at Hildesheim in Germany in 1900. After graduating in medicine from the University of Munich in 1923, he spent five years as research assistant to Professor Otto Warburg the leading biochemist of the time.
