Abstract
LITTLE is known about the pathway of biological synthesis of deoxypentose. As a component of deoxypentose nucleic acid, the synthesis of this sugar must play an important part in the metabolism of cell nuclei.

The crude mixture of deoxynucleotides was obtained by precipitation of an enzymatic digest of deoxypentose nucleic acid by lead acetate according to Klein, W., in “Methoden der Fermentforschung”, 1 (1941).
