Abstract
The early chemistry of thiamine deficiency goes back many years. The purpose of this introductory chapter is to review some of the remarkable discoveries relating to thiamine, thiamine-dependent enzymes, the relation to a deficiency of thiamine, and results, which led to the awarding of a Nobel prize to Christiaan Eijkman in 1929 in physiology or medicine for his work involving thiamine.
