Abstract

1. Proteins, when added to activators (sodium oleate. Aerosol) of protyrosinase, greatly decrease the degree of activation. 2. Certain proteins adsorbed on activator micelles are markedly affected by temperature and are rendered more sensitive by ultraviolet light. 3. Ideas are expressed as to the possible nature of activating and inhibiting phenomena especially as they relate to the enzyme tyrosinase.
