W. E. Van Heyningen writes Chapter 15 on the action of toxic proteins found in snake venoms and elaborated by certain plants and bacteria. In Chapter 16 the proteins in milk are discussed by TL McMeekin and in Chapter 17 the methods of preparation, composition, and propertiesof egg proteins are presented by R. C. Warner. The late work on seed proteins, that has followed the classical investigationsof Osborne, is reviewed by S. Brohult and E. Sandegren (Chapter 18). The title of Chapter 19 is,“Proteins and protein metabolism in plants.” In this chapter F. C. Steward and J. F. Thompson discuss protein synthesis in the growing plant and the relationship between protein-N, carbohydrates, and non protein constituents, particularly asparagine and glutamine, during various phases of plant cell activity. The effect of the mineral supply on pro-tein formation in plants is also considered. The final chapter (Chapter 20) by C. H. Li summarizes in ex-cellent fashion the present knowledge of the protein hormones. The format of this volume is similar to that of the earlier mem-bers of this series. Extensive literature references, many as late as 1953, appear as footnotes. There seem to be few typo-graphical errors, though this reviewer noted some on page547 and page 642. The reference on page650 to Kendall’s isolation of thyroxin should be 1919, not 1951. The high quality of the contents of these volumes and their obvious value to anyone interested in the proteins should place them on the shelves of all workers in biochemistry. Unfortunately, this will nothappen. Their high cost will be beyond the means of many.
