The discovery of cell‐free alcohol fermentation : In 1897 Eduard Buchner laid the foundation stone for modern in vitro enzymology from his studies on the conversion of sugar into ethanol in the presence of zymase derived from yeast. The resulting Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Buchner one hundred years ago in 1907.
