Abstract
From a study of the enzymic activity of liver and kidney extracts from rabbit, rat, cat, dog, guinea pig, and horse towards benzamide, p-nitrobenzamide, asparagine, glutamine, nicotinamide, glycylglycine, acetylglycine, and acetanilide, it appeared probable that the enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of the aromatic amides was not identical with any of those which attacked the other substrates. There was evidence for the existence of distinct aliphatic and aromatic deacetylases.
