Abstract

The formation of AICARle 2 from AIR, which has been shown by Levenberg and Buchanan (2) to be a step in the synthesis of inosinic acid by soluble enzymes of avian liver, was found to proceed through the intermediary formation of succino-AICAR as described in Paper XXIII(3) and illustrated by Reactions 1 and 2.
