Abstract
IN consideration of recent communications1, 2 on the chemical action of X-rays on enzymes, and of the renewal of the discussion on the relative role of 'direct hit' and 'indirect action' in enzyme-ray reactions, it seems to us timely to record here certain observations relevant to this question from an investigation in progress on the influence of ultra-violet light on enzymes.
