Abstract
IN the course of a study of the acid-soluble nucleotides occurring in the mycelium of Penicillium chrysogenum 1 we isolated a compound having a typical adenosine ultra-violet spectrum, and showing the appearance of a peak at 315 mµ on addition of potassium cyanide. This compound could be distinguished from diphosphopyridine nucleotide and triphosphopyridine nucleotide not only by its inability to act as a coenzyme for alcohol dehydrogenase and for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase but also by the fact that it was eluted by formic acid from a ‘Dowex-1’ (formate) column behind diphosphopyridine nucleotide and before triphosphopyridine nucleotide.
