Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins (20 June 1861 – 16 May 1947) was an English biochemist.
He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1929, with Chri...
My main thesis will be that in the study of the intermediate processes of metabolism we have to deal not with complex substances which elude ordinary chemical methods, but with the simple substances undergoing comprehensible reactions. Frederick Gowland Hopkins

They are, however, certainly of the kind which comprises these minimal qualitative factors that I am considering. Frederick Gowland Hopkins

But if there be a hierarchy of levels we must recognise each one, and the physical and chemical level which, I would again say, may be the level of self-maintenance, must always have a place in any ultimate complete description. Frederick Gowland Hopkins

The animal body is adjusted to live either upon plant tissues or the tissues of other animals, and these contain countless substances other than the proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Frederick Gowland Hopkins

But, further, no animal can live upon a mixture of pure protein, fat and carbohydrate, and even when the necessary inorganic material is carefully supplied, the animal still cannot flourish. Frederick Gowland Hopkins

So far from this being the case, recent progress points in the clearest way to the fact that the molecules with which a most important and significant part of the chemical dynamics of living tissues is concerned are of a comparatively simple character. Frederick Gowland Hopkins
