Chemist
Hans von Euler-Chelpin
Fermentation enzymes, and a Nobel Prize like his son's.
Hans Karl August Simon Euler-Chelpin, since 28 July 1884 von Euler-Chelpin, was a German-born Swedish biochemist. He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1929 with Arthur Harden for their investigations on the fermentation of sugar and enzymes. He was a professor of general and organic chemistry at Stockholm University (1906 to 1941) and the director of its Institute for organic-chemical research (1938 to 1948). Euler-Chelpin was distantly related to Leonhard Euler. He married chemist Astrid Cleve, the daughter of the Uppsala chemist Per Teodor Cleve. In 1970, their son Ulf von Euler, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
