Abstract
THE question whether the dehydrogenation of α-glycerophosphoric acid by animal tissues depends upon the catalytic action of coenzyme I (diphosphopyridine-nucleotide) has recently been the subject of controversy1–4. The extraction of a very powerful α-glycerophosphoric dehydrogenase preparation from horse brain by a modification of Green's method1 has offered an opportunity of contributing a few observations.
