BIO-ORGANIC CHEMISTRY QUARTERLY REPORT FOR MARCH, APRIL, MAY 1959
Progress is reported in the following studies: the kinetics of photoconductivity in solid organic dye materials using metal-free phthalocyanine as the test material; the kinetics of the rise and decay of photoinduced unpaired electrons in spinach chloroplasts as measured with a electron-spin-resonance spectrometer; the Hill reaction and C/sup 14/O/sub 2/ fixation in intact, washed, and fragmented chloroplasts; carbon-14 tracer studies on the fixation and reduction of carbon dioxide during periods of steady-state photosynthesis; identification of the magnesium ion as the cofactor of carboxydismutose; the biosynthesis of C/sup 14/-labeled morphine alkaloids; the effects of continuously administered 30% D/sub 2/0 in drinking water on the incorporation of adenine into nucleic acids in mice; the relationship between brain protein and behavior in rats from various strains the effect of crystal size on the radiation sensitivity of choline chloride crystals; and an investigation of the chemical properties of n-carboxy-L-glutamic acid anhydride.
