Abstract
THIS paper is restricted to a discussion of recent developments in the field of practical applications of enzymes in clinical medicine. No attempt can be made to discuss the general significance of enzymes in medicine because such an undertaking would be equivalent to reviewing the whole field of biochemistry as applied to medicine. It is generally recognized that, with a few exceptions, every chemical reaction occurring in the cells of the organism is catalyzed by enzymes.1 It follows that the study of normal metabolism at the fundamental level consists mostly of the study of chemical reactions that are made possible . . .Keywords
