Summary

A study of the p- and o-hydroxylation of aniline by rabbit-liver microsomes has shown that these reactions are differently affected by the storage of the microsomes and by copper chloride or semicarbazide. The results point to the existence of two enzymes involved in the p- and o-hydroxylation of aniline.
