Pepsin, thanks to Northrop, is a hnown crystnllinc compound nnd therc arc strong grounds for regarding it ns itself R protein. Tho samc workcr has obtaincd crystals of trypsinqgen, which is an innctivc protcin convcrtiblc into act#ivc tryptasc.

The author is doing good work in establishing n nomcnclaturc for thcsc enzymes which, though a t first Right it may tippear awk\vard and cvcn iuvolvcd, ie highly dcsirablc in thc interests of accuracy and ultimatc simplification. E. F. A. process, t;lic wholc oxygen consumption consisting of three parts which miiy be distinguishcd :is I' hsmin respirtition, light respinition i i n d rest respiration." It, is gcncrally nssiimcd that tdic light rc:iction consists in the dchydrogcnation of t i sulxitimcc Inbcllcd " lucifcrin " by ill1 pnzynic, lucifcriise.
