||1956: Carl Neuberg dies ... an early pioneer in biochemistry, and he is often referred to as the "father of modern biochemistry".[1][2] His notable contribution to science includes the discovery of the carboxylase and the elucidation of alcoholic fermentation which he showed to be a process of successive enzymatic steps, an understanding that became crucial as to how metabolic pathways would be investigated by later researchers.
