BIO-ORGANIC CHEMISTRY QUARTERLY REPORT FOR MARCH, APRIL, MAY, 1958
A study is currently being made of the incorporation of tritiated water by Chlorella cells suspended in various media and under conditions of light and dark. This work is part of a program to study the path of hydrogen in photosyathesis. A study is being made of the nonphotosysthetic pathways of C0/ sup 2/ fixation in three microorganisms, two algae and a fungus. Steady-state studies are reported on the carbon-reduction cycle in photosynthesis. Papaver somnlferum (opium poppy) plants are being cultivated in the presence of radioactive C0/sup 2/ for the purpose of studying the path of carbon to the morphine alkaloids. The sythesis of 2-C-hydroxyzaethyl pestonic acids is described. The effect of D/sub 2/0 on the metabolism of several labeled compounds by mice has been studied. Electron-spin resonance studies of irradiated choline chloride are presented. The isotope effect was studied in the decarbonylstion of benzoylformic acid. An ionization chamber technique is described for determining the specific activity of any C/sup 14/-costaining compound with a standard error of less than 1% or 40 disistegrations per minute, whichever is larger. Progress on the enzymic studies of the rat brain is reported. (For preceding period see UCRL-8204.) (W.L.H.)
