Editing Citric acid cycle (section)

== Discovery ==
Several of the components and reactions of the citric acid cycle were established in the 1930s by the research of [[Albert Szent-Györgyi]], who received the [[Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine]] in 1937 specifically for his discoveries pertaining to [[fumaric acid]], a component of the cycle.<ref name="Nobel_Prize_1937">{{cite web|url=https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/1937/summary/|title=The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1937|access-date=2011-10-26|publisher=The Nobel Foundation}}</ref> He made this discovery by studying pigeon breast muscle. Because this tissue maintains its oxidative capacity well after breaking down in the Latapie mincer and releasing in aqueous solutions, breast muscle of the pigeon was very well qualified for the study of oxidative reactions.<ref>Chandramana, Sudeep.
