Carl Ferdinand Cori, ForMemRS [1] (December 5, 1896 – October 20, 1984) was a Czech-American biochemist and pharmacologist. He, together with his wife Gerty Cori and Argentine physiologist Bernardo Houssay , received a Nobel Prize in 1947 for their discovery of how the glucose derivative glycogen (animal starch) is broken down and ...
Cori cycle. The Cori cycle (also known as the lactic acid cycle), named after its discoverers, Carl Ferdinand Cori and Gerty Cori, [1] is a metabolic pathway in which lactate, produced by anaerobic glycolysis in muscles, is transported to the liver and converted to glucose, which then returns to the muscles and is cyclically metabolized back to lactate.
Gerty Cori with her husband and fellow-Nobelist, Carl Ferdinand Cori, in 1947. [1]Gerty Theresa Cori (née Radnitz; August 15, 1896 – October 26, 1957 [2]) was a Bohemian-Austrian and American biochemist who in 1947 was the third woman to win a Nobel Prize in science, and the first woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, for her role in the "discovery of the course of ...
It is also known as Cori's disease in honor of the 1947 Nobel laureates Carl Cori and Gerty Cori. Other names include Forbes disease in honor of clinician Gilbert Burnett Forbes (1915–2003), an American physician who further described the features of the disorder, or limit dextrinosis , due to the limit dextrin-like structures in cytosol .

Foundation Professor of Biochemistry at La Trobe University (1972–1993). Lubert Stryer (1938–2024). American biophysicist at Stanford who pioneered the use of fluorescence spectroscopy, particularly Förster resonance energy transfer, to monitor the structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules. He is best known for his textbook ...
In 1941, she moved to the Washington University in St. Louis in Missouri, where she worked with Gerty Cori and Carl Cori as an assistant professor of biochemistry. [10] Green isolated pure phosphorylase , a key enzyme in the Cori cycle pathway that breaks down the sugar storage molecule glycogen , playing a critical role in the elucidation of ...
Biochemistry, or biological chemistry, is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. [1] A sub-discipline of both chemistry and biology, biochemistry may be divided into three fields: structural biology, enzymology, and metabolism. Over the last decades of the 20th century, biochemistry has become successful at ...
The understanding of the concept of second messengers, and in particular the role of cyclic nucleotides and their ability to relay physiological signals to a cell, has its origins in the research of glycogen metabolism by Carl and Gerty Cori, for which they were awarded a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1947.
