โฆ Synopsis
Previous studies on nerve phosphates (Gerard and Wallen, '29) were concerned primarily with the creatine-phosphate and acid soluble fractions. These were amplified for invertebrate nerve (Engel and Gerard, '35) and by creatine analyses of vertebrate nerve and muscle (Gerard and Tupikova, '38). The present work extends the investigation to other phosphate fractions of frog nerve and muscle, especially the pyrophosphate and the acid insoluble ones ; and we have also examined the distribution of phosphorus compounds along nerve in relation to the claim that a definite gradient exists.
