Dr. Donald Nicholson 1916–2012 Dr. Donald Nicholson received his B.Sc. in 1936 and his Ph.D in 1940, both in Chemistry from London University. He then went to work at Boots Pure Drug Company at Nottingham on the development and production of the earliest sulphonamide antibacterial drugs. In 1946 he joined the department of Bacteriology at the School of Medicine in Leeds as an I.C.I Fellow in Chemotherapy and remained there as Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in Microbiology until "retirement" in 1981. Even into his 90s, Dr. Nicholson was actively engaged in the creation of smaller and more detailed "minimaps" and especially "animaps". In recognition of his work, he received an Honorary D.Sc. and was made one of only two Honorary Life Members of the IUBMB. Learn more about Dr. Nicholson and how he created the Metabolic Pathway Charts.   The Metabolic Pathways Map contains over 500 hyperlinks to Sigma product listings.

In biochemistry, a metabolic pathway is a series of chemical reactions occurring within a cell. The reactants, products, and intermediates of an enzymatic reaction are known as metabolites. In a pathway, the reactant is modified by a sequence of chemical reactions. These reactions are catalyzed by enzymes, where the product of one enzyme acts as the substrate for the next. These enzymes often require dietary minerals, vitamins, and other cofactors to function.

  1. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
