  Otto Fritz Meyerhof Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography
The German biochemist Otto Fritz Meyerhof (1884-1951) shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of the fixed relationship between oxygen consumption and the metabolism of lactic acid in muscle and for establishing the cyclic character of energy transformations in the living cell.
In 1912 Meyerhof became an assistant in the department of physiology in the University of Kiel and in 1918 assistant professor.
Using a new rapid method devised by himself, Meyerhof showed in 1920 that, in anaerobic conditions, the lactic acid was derived from glycogen in the muscle and that the amount of lactic acid formed was proportional to the tension produced in the muscle.

 Otto Fritz Meyerhof Summary
Meyerhof's was the first attempt at explaining the function of a cell in terms of physics and chemistry; his research into the chemical processes of the muscle cell paved the way for the full understanding of the breakdown of glucose to provide body energy.
Otto Meyerhof helped lay the foundations for modern bioenergetics, the application of the principles of thermodynamics (the science of physics in relation to heat and mechanical action) to the analysis of chemical processes going on within the living cell.

 Otto Meyerhof - Biography
Otto Fritz Meyerhof was born on April 12, 1884, in Hannover.
Meyerhof's own account of his earlier work states that he was occupied chicfly with oxidation mechanisms in cells and with extending methods of gas analysis through the calorimetric measurement of heat production.
The discovery of Otto Meyerhof and his students that some phosphorylated compounds are rich in energy led to a revolution, not only of our concepts of muscular contraction, but of the entire significance of cellular metabolism.

Meyerhof worked at Krehl's laboratory for little over two years, but the establishment of ties with Krehl and the development of his close friendship with Warburg were to be factors which would continue to shape Meyerhof's career.
Meyerhof at the the time of the award of his Nobel Prize Between 1918 and 1922, Meyerhof worked out an extraordinary amount of this biochemical detail, including proofs that it is glycogen that is converted into lactic acid in the absence of oxygen.
Thus, Meyerhof tied the release of energy during this particular oxidation to the reconversion of the remaining four fifths of the lactic acid back to glycogen.

Meyerhof was born in Hanover and studied at a number of German universities.
In 1920 Meyerhof showed that, in anaerobic conditions, the amounts of glycogen metabolized and of lactic acid produced in a contracting muscle are proportional to the tension in the muscle.
He also demonstrated that 20-25% of the lactic acid is oxidized during the muscle's recovery period and that energy produced by this oxidation is used to convert the remainder of the lactic acid back to glycogen.

Walter Ernst Meyerhof is the son of Professor Otto Fritz Meyerhof, a noted biochemist and physiologist, and Hedwig (Schallenberg) Meyerhof.
Though Otto Meyerhof was not on the ECR list, Fry was more than willing to help the Nobel laureate, and in September 1940, Otto and Hedwig arrived in America.
Otto became a research professor at the University of Pennsylvania's medical school.

For this work he shared the 1922 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine.
Meyerhof introduced the term glycolysis to describe the anaerobic degradation of glycogen to lactic acid, and showed the cyclic nature of energy transformations in living cells.
The complete metabolic pathway of glycolysis is known as the Embden-Meyerhof pathway after Meyerhof and Gustav George Embden (1874-1933).

Otto Fritz Meyerhof was a German biochemist and corecipient, with Archibald V. Hill, of the 1922 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for research on the chemical reactions of metabolism in muscle.
Meyerhof demonstrated that the production of lactic acid in muscle tissue, formed as a result of glycogen breakdown, was effected without the consumption of oxygen (i.e., anaerobically).
The lactic acid was reconverted to glycogen through oxidation by molecular oxygen, during muscle rest.
