Abstract
THE hydrolysis of synthetic glycerol 1-(inositol 2-phosphate)1,2 has recently been compared with that of the glycerylphosphoryl inositol isolated from hydrolysates of liver phosphatidyl inositol3. The results suggest that the phosphate group in the original lipid is attached to the 1- or 2-hydroxyl of the myoinositol. Inositol 1-phosphate should be optically active, while inositol 2-phosphate should not.
