Sir Arthur Harden was a renowned English biochemist who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1929 for his work on the fermentation of sugar and the fermentative enzyme actions. He studied the chemistry of the fermentation of sugar by yeast juice for over 20 years, confirming Carl Neuberg's discovery of carboxylase in yeast and investigating peroxidase and invertase. He also examined the role of inorganic salts in fermentation, expanding the knowledge of intermediary metabolic processes. Harden also published papers on the antiscorbutic and antineuritic vitamins and their presence in food and drinks, and established the synthesis of the antiberiberi factor by yeast. He wrote and edited many chemistry textbooks and collaborated with Sir H. E. Roscoe in a study of Dalton's notebooks.

Biography/Timeline

1882

His parents were Albert Tyas Harden and Eliza Macalister. He was educated at a Tettenhall College, Staffordshire, and entered Owens College, now the University of Manchester, in 1882, graduating in 1885.

1886

In 1886 Harden was awarded the Dalton Scholarship in Chemistry and spent a year working with Otto Fischer at Erlangen. He returned to Manchester as lecturer and demonstrator, and remained there until 1897 when he was appointed Chemist to the newly founded British Institute of Preventive Medicine, which later became the Lister Institute. He earned the degree Doctor of Science (D.Sc.) from the Victoria University (which included Owens College) in June 1902. Five years later, in 1907 he was appointed Head of the Biochemical Department, a position which he held until his retirement in 1930 (though he continued his scientific work at the Institute after his retirement).

1926

Harden was knighted in 1926, and received several honorary doctorates. A Fellow of the Royal Society, he received the Davy Medal in 1935.
