When Adolph von Bayer learned that Eduard Buchner had been awarded the 1907 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery of zymase, he remarked that “this will bring Buchner fame, even though he has no chemical talent” (Bloch, 1994). And yet, although Eduard Buchner’s first observations of cell-free fermentation had taken place during a trial run to obtain immunologically active bacterial proteins in his brother Hans’ laboratory, they would eventually become one of the cornerstones of the new science of biochemistry. Although by then the study of soluble enzymes was already a well-developed area of research, they were considered as biologically much less important than protoplasm itself, and many still adhered to T. H. Huxley’s assertion that “protoplasm, simple or nucleated, is the formal basis of all life” (Huxley, 1870). The recognition that cell-free fermentation was due to enzymatic activity rapidly challenged the views of protoplasmic biology, and led to a new mechanistic enzyme-centred theory of life (Kohler, 1971, 1972). Although different and sometimes opposing ideas on the actual nature of the protoplasm coexisted (Ling, 1984; Welch, 1995), the study
