Kuhn also strongly advocated the appointment of Hermann Rein, a cardiovascular physiologist, to fill in Meyerhof's position.

The real turning point in Meyerhof's adherence to the lactic acid cycle came with the arrival of a letter at the new KWImF from the Danish physiologist, Einar Lundsgaard.

Indeed, much of the critical identification of glycolytic enzymes in Meyerhof's laboratory was done in connection with experiments on yeast.

The avalanche of results in Meyerhof's institute during the next 8 years would certainly prove the worthiness of the choice.

The challenge now facing Meyerhof was to identify the specific roles played by each compounds in the complex chain of chemical interactions that lead to the release of energy that drives muscle contraction.

Meyerhof also made the critical structural and functional studies of this all-important molecule while at the KWImF.

As the structural and thermodynamic data about ATP mounted, combined with the enzymatic information and the discovery of myosin, Meyerhof was finally in a position to formally propose that the release of energy in ATP hydrolysis was the primary event leading to muscle contraction and that lactic acid and creatine phosphate were only indirectly involved through their role of maintaining the ATP cycle.
