Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Nature of Enzyme Action A Considerable amount of new matter has been added to this edition, and the continued discovery of further facts has rendered it necessary to revise certain paragraphs. At the same time, it has been possible to abbreviate the description of some other work which has shown itself unable to stand the test of renewed investigation. Attention is particularly directed to the chapters on "Reversibility" and on the "Combination" between enzyme and substrate, as also to the section on anti-enzymes, which have, for the most part, been rewritten. It will be found that many important new discoveries have been made in these fields. The facts referred to have made some modifications necessary in the point of view taken in previous editions; but, for the most part, these are in the direction of simplification. It is satisfactory to note that the doctrine of the importance of surface phenomena, or adsorption, in the action of enzymes, advocated in these pages from the first, is becoming more and more widely recognised. The use of the word "Nature" in the title of this monograph has been subjected to criticism. It is said that the "Nature of Enzyme Action" is not explained. My object is to compare the various activities grouped under the head of "enzymic" with those known as "catalytic." If it is found that their nature is the same, a group of facts is brought under the application of more general laws, and, as I understand it, that is what "explanation" in Science essentially is.
