  The History of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Medical Research: 1929-1939
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.
Embden's lactocidogen proved not to be the activator), Meyerhof continued to support the general theory of the lactic acid cycle, and much of his group's efforts during the late 20s continued to be directed toward unravelling lactic acid's role in muscle glycolysis.
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.

 CSHL: Symposia on Quantitative Biology
The period from the latter part of the 19th century through the 1940s may be regarded as a golden age of biochemistry, a time when the laboratories and lecture halls were ruled by giants such as Hoppe-Seyler, Buchner, Paster, Fischer, Hopkins, Warburg, Keilin and so on.
During this period, the fundamental metabolic pathways of the cell were being elucidated by scientists whose names have become eponymous with their discoveries; for example, Gustav Embden, Otto Meyerhof and Hans Krebs.
It is not surprising, then, that Ponder commented on the topic of the 1939 Symposium that “A more timely subject could scarcely have been chosen, for it is one which has come to of the first importance in the investigation of cellular chemistry, whether physiological or abnormal”.

 Glycolysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although glycolysis produces less energy per glucose molecule than complete aerobic oxidation, it can occur at great speed and is anaerobic (i.e., it does not require oxygen).
The most common and well-known form of glycolysis is the Embden-Meyerhof pathway, initially elucidated by Gustav Embden and Otto Meyerhof.
The term can be taken to include alternative pathways, such as the Entner-Doudoroff Pathway.

 Ulf von Euler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From 1930 to 1931 von Ulf got a Rochester Fellowship to do his post-doctoral studies abroad.
He studied in England with Sir Henry Dale in London and with I. de Burgh Daly in Birmingham, and then proceeded to the continent, studying with Corneille Heymans in Ghent, Belgium and with Gustav Embden in Frankfurt, Germany.
Von Euler liked to travel, so he also worked and learned biophysics with Archibald Vivian Hill, again in London in 1934, and neuromuscular transmission with G. Brown in 1938.

Wieland, the Coris, Embden, Fiske, and others, all made important contributions that are not detailed here.
In the absence of a better model (neither did Embden's lactocidogen prove to be the activator), Meyerhof continued to support the general theory of the lactic acid cycle, and much of his group's efforts during the late 20s continued to be directed toward unraveling lactic acid's role in muscle glycolysis.
With accumulating data from his own and other laboratories, Embden constructed a detailed proposal for reaction sequences for almost the entire glycolytic pathway.

His studies focused mainly on chemical processes in living organisms, especially intermediate metabolic processes in liver tissue.
By developing a technique to prevent tissue damage, Embden discovered the liver's important role in metabolism and did preliminary studies that led to the investigation of normal sugar metabolism and of diabetes.

It was in this general context that medicine and the natural sciences began to interface for the first time.
Physician-scientists Ludolf von Krehl, Gustav Embden and Carl Neuberg were early pioneers in this effort.
Such men had a dual motivation: clearly they wished to apply as many basic scientific tools as possible in order to understand and potentially cure diseases, but they also believed that the study of pathological conditions might hold the key to understanding normal cellular functions.
