Albert von Szent Nagyrapolt [] (* 16 September 1893 in Budapest; "† 22 October 1986 in Woods gets, Massachusetts) was a Hungarian biochemist and Nobelpreisgewinner. It studied medicine and pharmacology in Budapest, physiology in Prague and Berlin) as well as chemistry in Hamburg. Name giver of the Szent university in Szeged.

Origin

It was born as a son of Nicolaus of Szent Gyorgyi 1893 in Budapest. Its study began it 1911 in Budapest to it at the beginning of the 1.Weltkrieges was drawn in.

Study

• starting from 1911 study of the medicine in Budapest
• after 1917 he dedicated himself to the pharmacology
• resuming study of the physiology in Berlin and Prague
• 2 years study physical chemistry at the University of Hamburg

Important achievements

Nobelpreis

• For its discoveries in the area of the biological burn processes, particularly in relationship on the Vitamin C and the catalysis the fumaric acid he received the Nobelpreis for medicine to 1937.

He investigated the biological burn procedures as well as the Sauerstoffverbrauch in the muscle tissue. It recognized oranges and Paprika as rich sources of Vitamin C and stated that Vitamin C and ascorbic acid are identical.

Discoveries

• Into the 1930er years discovered he the Bioflavonoide, which he called first Vitamin P. The Flavonoide ranks among the secondary plant materials.
