Abstract

Because it is nearly impossible to cover the various aspects of organic nitrogen metabolism in one review, the intention of this contribution is rather to discuss the actual progress of one selected topic within this scope. The reader may be referred to recent reviews on amino acid metabolism by TRUFFA-BACHI and COHEN; UMBARGER, MIFLIN (1). The following report comprises the relevant literature since 1972.
