The Swiss chemist PAUL KARRER (1889-1971) was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1937. He worked on isolating and determining the structure of carbohydrates and vitamins and was the first to describe the structure of a vitamin. He also demonstrated that carotenoids are transformed into vitamin A in the body.
