Embden

Some European breeds, such as Embden and Toulouse, have also been used in the tropics with notable success.

Indeed, after a much heated debate with Embden, who believed that a molecule called lactocidogen was the energy source for the muscle mechanism, this idea became known in some circles as the Meyerhof dogma.

For this reason, glycolysis has been referred to ever since as the Embden-Meyerhof

Embden believed that the appearance of hexosediphosphate was related to his lactocidogen, while Meyerhof proposed early on that all glucose must go through esterification leading to formation of phosphates.

With accumulating data from his own and other laboratories, Embden constructed

Embden, and von Euler, differed in this view point.

Embden died in 1933 before he had an opportunity to play a major role in testing the theory.

Embden isolated adenosine monophosphate (AMP) in 1928, Meyerhof and others began a serious search for other phosphates involved in glycolysis and yeast fermentation.

During the next decade, scientists like Carl Neuberg, Gustav Embden and Jacob Parnas made major contributions to early metabolic studies in yeast.

Indeed, some scientific historians, including Thomas Kuhn, believe the work during the 1930s in the laboratories of Meyerhof, Parnas, Embden, Warburg and a few others was the mark of true scientific revolution.
