Warburg's yellow
enzyme: A key respiratory enzyme discovered by the German biochemist
Otto Heinrich Warburg (1883-1970), a pioneer in research on the
respiration of cells and the metabolism of tumors. Warburg's yellow
enzyme is a flavoprotein that catalyzes an oxidation-reduction
reaction. This reaction is necessary for the cells to normally breathe
(respire). Warburg won the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in
1931 "for his discovery of the nature and mode of action of the
respiratory enzyme."
