That the reactions of living cells are the results of enzyme- substrate relationships seems well established but many of the details of these phe- nomena are as yet not clear. The extent to which the nucleus controls or regulates the type or nature of chemical reactions occurring in the cell as a whole has to a great degree been discussed from a theoretical rather than from a scientific point of view (DeRobertis, Nowinski and Saez, 1950). The presence, distribution and lo- calization of intracellular enzyme-substrates and chemical compounds have been variously demonstrated by micro-chemical and other techniques (Caspersson, 1950). The fact that living cells are in themselves able to carry on the reactions essential for their metabolic activities also seems well established. The degree to which the different parts of the cell are specific for these physico-chemical phenom- ena is at present not too well understood (Caspersson, 1950; Brachet, 1950). De- tails as to the presence of typical chemical compounds in the different parts of living cells are rapidly accumulating and tend to show a marked regional localization for many of the materials deemed essential for the various functions of the parts of the cell (Lardy, 1949; Caspersson, 1950). Results from many investigations on the enzyme-substrate relations of cellular parts seem to deal largely with systems iso- lated from the cells and to which various reagents have been added and, conclusions then
