Lipmann, Fritz Albert (1899-1986)

German-born US biochemist who was awarded a Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1953 for his discovery of coenzyme A, a nonprotein compound that acts in conjunction with enzymes to catalyse metabolic reactions leading up to the Krebs cycle.

He shared the prize with Hans Krebs.
