Eduard Buchner (1860–1917) was a German chemist and zymologist who won the 1907 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on fermentation. He proved that fermentation could occur outside of living cells, a revolutionary discovery that paved the way for modern biochemistry. His research challenged the prevailing belief that fermentation required living organisms. Buchner's work had a profound impact on our understanding of biological processes. He is remembered as a pioneer in biochemistry.
