✦ Synopsis
Biochemical studies in liver, muscle, and cultured fibroblasts were carried out in seven patients with Friedreich ataxia. Lowered activity of pyruvate carboxylase was shown in liver and cultured fibroblasts in all instances.

## Abstract The activities of pyruvate carboxylase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase were measured in cultured human fibroblasts. Considerable variation was observed in strains derived from different individuals. The activities of both enzymes throughout the culture cycle were measured in two s
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) seeds and Sorghum vulgare caryopses are able to incorporate CO2 through a PEP-carboxylating enzyme (EC 4.1.1.38). The enzyme activity is optimal at pH 8.2 and is unaffected by ATP, GDP or acetyl CoA. The partially purified cotton enzyme is stimulated by inorganic phosphat
## Abstract Normal activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex was found in platelet‐enriched preparations from two siblings with Friedreich's ataxia who had been reported previously as being deficient in this enzyme.
