Extract

The rates of reaction and reaction mechanisms in biological systems are the controlling factors in the metabolism and life cycles of all living organisms. Nevertheless, very little is known today about the details of these processes, particularly in more complicated life forms. For example, addition of certain metallic ions to an enzymic matrix can cause gross changes in enzymic activity (Brewer & Weber, 1966); just how these ions specifically enter into enzymic reactions is a subject of intense interest. The nature of the kinetics of bonding in nucleic acids is also the subject of much research (Eigen, 1967).
