Glutamic Acid and Insecticides

Glutamic Acid Dehydrogenase and Glutamic-oxalacetic

As part of a larger project dealing with an in vestigation of amino acid and protein metabolism in leukemia, a study was undertaken to determine those enzymes concerned with amino acid anabo lism and catabolism as they occur in selected tis sues. Several review papers (@,4, 11, 1@)have ade quately summarized our present knowledge of the metabolism of white blood cells (WBC) in leuke mia. Howeve...

Determination of Glutamic Acid

A glutamic acid-producing bacillus.

During ail examination of microbial culture filtrates capable of reversing the inhibition of Streptomyces aureofaciens Strain NRRL B-1286 caused by the metliionine analogue norleucine, one filtrate was found to possess striking reversing potency. Analysis showed this could not be due to methionine. The reversal properties of the filtrate were traced to glutamic acid which imparted high reversin...

Glutamic Acid in Malignant Tumors

The ultimate solution of the problem of cancer will probably involve the recognition of specific chemical differences between the modes of development of normal and of neoplastic cellular tissues. The growth of a tissue comprises the synthesis of protein from the natural amino acids. It has in the past few years become amply clear that all amino acids occurring in proteins have the same “natura...
