Abstract
THIS, is another of the series of monographs on biochemistry which are being issued by Messrs. Longmans under the editorship of Drs. Hopkins and Aders Plimmer. The previous monographs have been already noticed in these columns, and two of these dealt with the proteins from the more strictly chemical point of view. Dr. Schryver now adds another chapter to, and by no means exhausts, this large subject. The first section deals with the physical properties of the proteins (solubilities, crystallisation, heat coagulation, rotatory power, electrical conductivity, and so forth); the second with their general chemical characters (tests, distribution of nitrogen, compounds with acids, bases, halogens, &c.); and the third with the precipitin reaction, which is commonly known as the biological test.
The General Characters of the Proteins.
