Szent-Gyorgyi was born in 1893 in Budapest and began studying at SemmelweisUniversity in 1911. He then called to serve as a medic in World War I, but soon had the desire to return to science. Then he shot himself to be allowed to return to their studies.The physiologist began research on the anatomy, and then turned to the physiology of bacteriology, and chemistry of molecules. Later he studied electron quantum mechanics.
While working on his doctorate at the University of Cambridge, Svent-Gvorgyi worked to isolate what he called hexuronic acid from adrenal gland tissue. It was later discoveredwith teammate Jose Svirbely research at the University of Szeged that acid was not identified antiscorbutic factor, now known as vitamin C.
Svent-Gvorgyi was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1937 for "theirdiscoveries concerning the biological combustion processes, with special reference to vitamin C and the catalysis of fumaric acid." After winning the prize, returned to work inmuscle research, and discovered poteins actin and myosin and their complexes.
