Abstract

1. A further purification of the cream preparation of Wieland and Rosenfeld was carried out. 2. it was found that the actions of the enzymes in fresh cows' milk are partially inhibited, and that it is only when the fat particles of the milk coagulate that the maximum activity is attained. 3. The dehydraees of cream preparation were shown to be sensitive to evacuation. 4. Further evidence has been obtained to prove that xanthine dehydrase and aldehydrase are distinct enzymes. 5. Cream preparation has been shown to contain mutase, and to be capable of bringing about the dismutation of salicylaldehyde and acetaldehyde. 6. The aldehydrase and mutase of cream preparation have been proved identical. 7. The aerobic dehydrogenation of aldehydes has been fully studied, and has been shown to proceed according to the dehydrogenation theory of Wieland.
