Abstract
FROM the time of Osborne's pioneer researches on the plant proteins, American chemists and biologists have shown the liveliest interest in this field of investigation, and it can safely be said that in no country to-day is a greater proportion of the total researches concerned with protein problems. Not only do American names figure prominently in the history of protein discoveries, but also for convenient accounts of the work of many European investigators, such as Sorensen and Svedberg, we are indebted to American enterprise in arranging lecture visits and to American publishers for issuing the lectures in monograph form.
