The process of reversible phosphorylation: the work of Edmond H. Fischer

Nicole Kresge et al. J Biol Chem. .

Abstract

Edmond H. Fischer was awarded the 1992 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his joint research with Edwin G. Krebs on reversible protein phosphorylation. The two Classics reprinted here relate some of Fischer and Krebs' early discoveries in their phosphorylase research

Phosphorylase Activity of Skeletal Muscle Extracts (Krebs, E. G., and Fischer, E. H. (1955) J. Biol. Chem. 216, 113–120)

Conversion of Phosphorylase b to Phosphorylase a in Muscle Extracts (Fischer, E. H., and Krebs, E. G. (1955) J. Biol. Chem. 216, 121–132)
