Tissue fractionation studies. 2. The nature of the linkage between acid phosphatase and mitochondria in rat-liver tissue

Abstract

In the preceding paper (Berthet & Duve, 1951), the existence in rat-liver tissue of a mitochondrialinked form of acid phosphatase has been described and the cytological significance of this finding has been discussed. The nature of the linkage between enzyme and granule forms the object of the present communication.
