Abstract
AN investigation of the metabolism of sarcosomes and whole-muscle homogenates isolated from the flight-muscle of the blowfly (Calliphora erythrocephala) indicated that the rate of succinate oxidation by these preparations is limited by the steady-state concentration of oxaloacetate produced by further oxidation of fumarate (Lewis, S. E., and Price, G. M., unpublished observations).
