VOL. 12 (1953) BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA INTRODUCTION OTTO WARBURG, ARTISAN OF CELL CHEMISTRY by DEAN BURK Foreign Member, Max Planck Institute for Cell Physiology, Bevlin-Dahlem {Germany), and Head of Cytochemistry Section, National Institutes of Health, United States Public Health Service, Bethesda, Md. (). Otto Heinrich Warburg was born on October 8, 1883 in Freiburg in Baden. In i8g6 he came with his parents to Beriin, where his father, Emil Warburg, had been called to the Chair of Physics in the University of Berlin and was later appointed to thePresidencv of thePhysikaltscheReichsanstalt {Impenal Bureau of Physical Standards). The mother of Otto Warburg stemmed from a family of public officials and soldiers, and her brother fell as a general in World War I. In two large official residences of his parents—-the first at the Marschallbriicke in Berlin, the second in Marchstrasse in Berlin-Charlottenburg, and both built from plans prepared by Frau von Helmholtz— Otto Warburg grew up during the culminating period of splendor of the Germany of Wilhelm II, in personal touch with many leading circles in the capital. In the home of his parents, Theodor Wilhelm Engelmann told him about Bacterium photometricum and photosynthesis; Emil Fischer about plans to fathom the secret of enzymes; and Van 't Hoff about the maximum work obtainable in chemical reactions. Thus the course of his life was already set in childhood. Later, at the university, he learned chemistry from Emil Fischer, with whom he worked for three years; medicine in the clinic of Ludolf von Krehl, to whom he was an assistant for three years; thermodynamics from Walter Nernst, with whom he worked on oxidation-reduction potentials in living systems in 1914; and physics and photochemistry from his father, with whom he worked on the quantum requirement
