Abstract
IN a recent letter, Porath1 reported that bacitracin A with an activity of 60 units/mgm. could be obtained by chromatography on charcoal. From an analysis of the peptides formed by hydrolysing this material with 6 N hydrochloric acid for 72 hr. at 37°, he tentatively suggested a partial structure for the molecule.
