In order to determine if the ovarian metabolism of pregnenolone differed between estrus and pregnancy, [7α-3H]pregnenolone was infused by the ovarian artery in anesthetized dogs and steroids containing tritium isolated in ovarian vein blood.
1.
1. Within 5 min the canine ovary metabolized pregnenolone to 17α-hydroxy-pregnenolone, progesterone, 17α-hydroxyprogesterone, dehydroepiandrosterone, androsterone, testosterone and probably estradiol.
2.
2. Induction of mating in the female dog by treatment with human chorionic gonadotropin was associated with a high capacity of the ovary to convert pregnenolone to testosterone and androstenedione.
3.
3. Dogs in the early part of pregnancy metabolized a considerable amount of the infused pregnenolone to progesterone.

Iodination at pH 9.5 has converted three of the six tyrosyl residues of ribonuclease to 3,5-diiodotyrosyl residues. The iodinated ribonuclease is still enzymatically active toward ribonucleic acid. The diiodotyrosyl residues have approximately normal pK's, while the tyrosyl residues remaining have abnormally high pK's. Hence, iodination has taken place on the normal tyrosyl residues.
Two of the iodinated tyrosyl residues have been shown to be No. 115 and No.92; hence, these appear to be normal tyrosyl residues. One of the non-iodinated tyrosyl residues is No. 97, and hence is one of the abnormal tyrosyl residues. The location of the other normal tyrosyl residue (or the other two abnormal ones) remains uncertain.

Cultivation of serine-glycine auxotrophs of Escherichia coli in a medium containing serine and a purine base results in a temporary inability of the cells to grow upon transfer to a medium containing glycine as the nutrilite. It could be shown that this failure to grow is due to the inability of the cells to obtain single-carbon units from glycine. The formation of the enzyme system required for the synthesis of single-carbon units from glycine seems to be controlled through repression exerted by the intracellular single carbons. The intracellular concentration of single-carbon units derived from the β-carbon of serine is apparently increased by the addition of a purine base to the growth medium.

Liver tissue obtained from rats after short-term infusion of [16-14C]estrone was homogenized and differentially fractionated into nuclei, mitochondria, microsomes and supernatant. The greatest amount of radioactivity was found in the supernatant fraction, followed by the nuclei and mitochondria with the lowest amount in the microsomes. The highest specific activity was present in the supernatant fraction followed by the mitochondria and microsomes with the lowest value obtained for the nuclei. Examination of the individual fractions showed probable evidence for binding of estrogen to liver protein, formation of little if any conjugates, possible degradation of ring D and the production of estradiol and another substance more polar than estriol.

The preparation of a mixture of the starch-gel components 1.07 and 1.10 of the α-casein family is described. Apart from minor genetical differences these α-caseins appear to be identical. At pH 6.2 and 7.5 the α-caseins strongly associate. At pH 12.2 they dissociate into sub-units of molecular weight 16500 and an axial ratio of 7.5. Arginine is the only N-terminal amino acid.
