Extract

In a previous paper (Proc. Roy. Soc. Edin., vol. xxxi. p. 342) a method was described for measuring small degrees of enzymatic peptolysis, and in a subsequent paper (Proc. Roy. Soc. Edin., vol. xxxii. p. 251) the conditions were dealt with under which such experiments could be carried out with the greatest possible guarantee of sterility combined with the least interference with the reaction.

The intention was to employ these methods for the purpose of pursuing the main object of research—the activation of zymogens in germinating seeds—and it was accordingly decided to carry through a series of experiments on germinating barley. This material was selected on account of the readiness with which it may be obtained.
