CARDIN! lnstituto de lnvestigaciones Bioquimicas "fundaci6n Campomar", and Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturafes, Obfigado 2490, Buenos Aires INCE the classical work of Hanes' some workers water and recentrifuged t,hree times. The white Sconsider that starch synthesis in vivo is catalysed precipitate was then suspended in four volumes of by phosphorylase. N evertheless, others have raised acetone at - 15° C., centrifuged at 0 ° C. ; this pro­ doubts on this hypothesis. Thus Ewart et al.•, from cedure was repeated three times, after which the measurements of the ratio of inorganic phosphate to precipitate was dried in vacuo. This preparation glucose-I-phosphate, concluded that: "phosphory­ could b e stored for months at - 15 ° C. with no lase is not involved in the synthesis of starch . . . decrease in activity. The bean starch fraction (2 mgm. co 6 but the role of phosphorylase in the normal metabolic ntaining µgm. of protein) was incubated at 37 ° C. for 3 hr . breakdown ... is not questioned" (cf. also Rowan TI - Mechanism of Starch Biosynthesis JF - Nature DO - 10.1038/187918a0 DA - 1960-09-10 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/mechanism-of-starch-biosynthesis-IbiMYra66b SP - 918 EP - 919 VL - 187 IS - 4741 DP - DeepDyve ER -
