Abstract
THIS is a series of short chapters, each written by an active worker in the particular section, dealing with selected subjects in the larger field of enzyme chemistry, a subject which is once again very much to the fore. A previous and similar volume has already been noticed in these columns. The British contributors are Moelwyn-Hughes on the kinetics of enzyme reaction, Keilin on cytochrome, and Horning on mitochondria. From the United States, Northrop and Kunitz write on crystalline trypsin and Hand on peroxidase and the iron-porphyrin catalysts. Myrbäch of Stockholm discusses co-zymase, Lundsgaard of Copenhagen deals with glycolysis, and there are several German contributors, so that the volume, like the science, is essentially international. The German contributions comprise cryolysis by Nord, esterases by Rona, emulsin by Helferich, invertase by Weidenhagen, and several others.
