However, in the early 1940s, the link between the oxidation of sugars and the generation of ATP was firmly established by Herman Kalckar, confirming the central role of ATP in energy transfer that had been proposed by Fritz Albert Lipmann in 1941.
Porén, a principios da década de 1940, a relación entre a oxidación dos azucres e a xeración de ATP foi establecida de forma definitiva por Herman Kalckar, confirmando o papel central do ATP na transferencia de enerxía, que fora proposto por Fritz Albert Lipmann en 1941.
